I would be against death penalty if it WASNT for the extremely high cost that is passed to the tax payers to jail someone for many years or life. So you kill someone, now not only do you never have to work another day in your life and still have "humane" accomodations but someone else gets to pay for all that too.
The prison system needs a major revamp and a new way of dealing with criminals. The fiscal cost to the taxpayers is unacceptable, IMO.
