Studies have shown that it costs less to keep a prisoner in jail for life than it does to impose the death penalty. I've posted the data here before. It is not about money. It is about revenge.

I couldn't agree more. What I don't understand is why people's idea of revenge is so short sighted. I'm a pretty revengeful person, and I can't think anything that tastes sweeter than locking someone in an 8 x 10 cell for decades. Killing them lets them get off "easy" in my book.
I'm almost pissed when someone who's sentenced to life without parole finds a way to kill themselves. They cheated the punishment.
