Google the question and it will be pretty clear where the facts lay. The only sites that spend a bunch of numbers and research to back up the fact that killing a person is more expensive than keeping them in jail for 40 years are the ones that are against the death penalty.

Its just simply not true that it costs more to kill someone than to keep them alive in jail for the rest of their lives.

I think it costs about $75,000 to $90,000 to keep them in jail EVERY year. They say the average life span in jail is about 40 years. That's about $3.6 million dollars just to keep them in jail.

They both get the same trials. They both get the same appeals. Its not rocket science. The only reason they make it confusing is so you think they know what they are talking about.

Great point.
