Ok first of all most people that actualy get executed serve a dozen or more years before they are executed. Many die of natural causes before getting executed. Also death row inmates are housed one to a cell. It takes more staff to watch death row inmates. Get it yet? A person on death row for 12 years take as much money to house the same guy for 50 years in general population. And the no one lives for 50 years in prison.
