I guess that depends on whether you are a victim or a perpetrator.
Certainly a lot cheaper to kill murderers and child rapers rather than keep them locked up for 50 years. Pretty sure the purely pragmatic, economical argument cannot be refuted.
Fortunately, I live in a society which does not always follow the purely pragmatic. If I wanted to liven a country more like that, I'd move to the US.
I'm not necessarily concerned with the economic pragmatism of the death penalty, I simply think some criminals deserve death.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
