I think it's insane to spend money feeding and housing these lifers, who are going to die in jail. If the crime is bad enough to warrant life imprisonment w/o parole, just juice them, and be done. I do think they have the right to appeal, but once their appeals run out, and they're still looking at life, just end it.
It might sound a little harsh, but that's just how I feel.
I know innocent people are convicted sometimes, but the appeals can drag on for a long time, and often act in truly innocent people's favor. The west memphis three, for example.
1) death is the easy way out, constant prison is a horrendous thought. Imagine spending 40 years in a tiny cell 23hrs a day, what is the real punishment?
2) death row'ers spend years on the row, so I doubt there is any difference financially, the cost of bureaucracy for execution must be huge.
3) you live in a country that consistently makes poor decisions with regards to death penalty and prison terms, just look at the Georgia last month, or even Rick Perrys record as Texas Governor.
Since you think that death is a less of a punishment than life imprisonment.
The ultimate price you'll pay for anything in your life, is your death.
Nothing more.
