[QUOTE]Originally posted by Hobbes: [QB] Wow.. hmm, well. [QUOTE]JeffKardde It costs 6 million to use the death penalty (appeals and all), but only 600,000 dollars to incarcirate them for life. Omega: I believe I'll ask for a source for that.[/QUOTE] While I'm not sure about the actual numbers, in my senior American Government class we were discussing the pros and cons of the death penalty. It's a fact that the death penalty is much more expensive than life in prison. This is really a tough subject, you can't say anything without pissing someone off. I can't even make up my own mind. I recommend watching A Time to Kill. Basically a black man (Samuel L Jackson) kills two white rednecks who raped his 10-year old daughter then tried to kill her. But the thing is, he does it in a court house in front of a bunch cops, innocent bystanders, and the media. The point is, should be given the death penatly for killing the men that raped and nearly killed his daughter? I agree with Jeff, executing an innocent person is murder and wrong. However, it's not like he was found innocent but killed anyway. [/QB][/QUOTE]
