It could be such a huge cost saving measure. It takes about $67 a day to house a prisoner...Assuming he lives 30 years. That is $733,650....Everyone who has admitted guilt and has life in prison should just be killed. Instead of building prisons, we can build schools. Think of how many across this country have admitted guilt and either are on death row or life without parole or 100 plus year sentences....Could save billions and to me, it is such an undebateable decision....But no, the attorneys have to bleed the system dry. That is another profession my administration would get rid of...
You could pay 1 attorney 20K and he will say he can get you probation....Same crime and another attorney you can only pay 1K too, he says you will have to do time.
I have no idea where you got those figures, but they are absolutely BULLSHIT.
It cost 6x times as much to execute a prisoner as opposed to incarcerating him for 75 years.
Cost aside, I am opposed to the death penatly, but if you are going to have the death penatly and not use it in these instances, than what is the purpose.
I am not one who is completely for the death penalty. However I do feel that in certain situations that prisoners do deserve to be put to death. Especially in this case.
As fars as whoever said it costs 6x as much, keep smoking that good shit!
After even a quick google search you'll see this is untrue.
It cost around $1,000,000 more for someone given death penalty as opposed to life in prison. This extra cost is ALL due to the legal process costs.
