Hasn’t it been shown in the States that it is more expensive to execute a criminal than imprison them for life.
I don’t know if it is still the case , but once appeals etc are factored in, it’s just cheaper to lock them up and throw away the key. I don’t think it’s a deterrent either, how...
Totally agree.
Far worse to be a nonce in high security, knowing you’ll never get out, hated by everyone inside and out, always looking over your shoulder. Execution is a short time of terror, and then nothing.
Keep them alive as long as possible.
