I've never seen a study that says that. All the one's I've seen say the exact opposite - the death penalty ends up costing more than life in prison.

Now, that could change IF they reduced the appeals process. But that's a dangerous road to go down, especially when you consider the number of people exonerated by DNA. Even one person exonerated should prove that the appeals process is needed.[/b]
Right, appeals process needs to be changed. Dangerous or not, some people should not be kept alive, period. Many prisoners end up costing the state over a Million dollars. Now that's just rediculous.

Kill them and be done with them. Prisons are often overwhelmed with inmates and something needs to be done.
