Hmmm... I thought I once saw a figure that claimed it was cheaper to have him imprisoned for live. But perhaps the figure was wrong or I remember it the wrong way.

Of course it would be cheaper if there was only a shooting squad.
Putting someone on death row isn't expensive. What's expensive is the bills for a string of lawyers to file appeal after spurious appeal, to save the life of a murderer/rapist/pedophile/serial killer/cop killer/all of the above!

Personally, I resent the hell out of any of my money having to pay to support scum like that. Hell, buy the ammo, and I'll shoot 'em for free, and so would a lot of other people!

So: Is it cheaper or not? Including lawyers and that sort of crap?
