You get a lot of appeals before they fry you,
That's the piece that needs to be reformed as far as I am concerned.

I'm just wondering how this works...
You don't have the death penalty, you have to pay for the person to be
in prison for 25+ years, this includes food, water, clothing, guards,
property for the prison (the space could be used for another prisoner),
other "amenities" to give them a value of life (which I've never
understood)
You get from them some menial labor, like license plates and cleaning up
trash...
Now, if you DO have the death penalty, you only have to pay for them
during the time upto their execution, and then the execution itself
So, how can 20+ years of keeping them in prison cost more than the
execution? Unless someone is REALLY ripping off the state, then you're
gonna save Millions, aren't you?
I'm not pro or anti execution, just anti the way we "pander" to
criminals who are in prisons
