There is a lot out there about big $$ in prison systems and some are private too (which was actually news to me). Yes, someone pays for it all, probably us little guys... Others profit. Imo. We may not agree go figure
Lol.
my cousin is married to his cousin
it costs far more to keep them in death row than not, so that kind of $$ isn't the case.
Of course it does, that is not the way I meant it.

Private prisons are run differently. State is where they hold prisoners on "Death Row".Of course it does, that is not the way I meant it.
I don't want to sidetrack the thread but I mean it a much different sense than the outright obvious, of course it costs more to house them. I don't have time to look further and this is not the ideal article but there is profit in the prison system.
I have seen new jails voted for and paid for by telling people the extra beds will bring income from other areas who can't house their own prisoners and they pay for it. Just one example of many. Just like a full motel, a full jail brings more profit in some cases. And as it says in this article, if no competition in the area, a monopoly can arise and prices unchecked.
Not trying to argue, I am just looking at it from a few different perspectives. Not to mention the government money depending on the type of facility. Some profit and some pay as in everything I guess is more my point.
I have read better articles than this but it touches on some of it...
Private Prisons
Although the cost of keeping prisoners alive is much higher than just using the death penalty, private prisons are interested in keeping the death penalty off of the streets. Private prisons have a...deathpenaltyenglish101.weebly.com
Zodiac. I believe it was "Arthur Lee Alan". The DNA not matching on an envelope can be explained away. There was alot of circumstantial evidence. More than anyone else. Gary Ridgeway. Such arrogance. He was convicted of 48 but he said he killed 71. I believe there may be even more than that. There are alot of gaps in between killings and he was killing in alarming regularity. He said he went back to the bodies at times so he didn't have to pay for a prostitute again. I don't buy that. He said he came to hate prostitutes because when he was a child his father was a city bus driver and would come home and complain about them. Nice try Gary. I have seen the "Zac Effron" Movie. There were alot of mistakes and things they left out. Also added things that didn't happen.
Yeah they love to NOT take responsibility.
In general, no. Absolutely not in favor of the death penalty.

I do agree with the Death Penalty. However, There does need to be no question it was that person. I have never had any doubt that some have been wrongly convicted and executed. The ones I mostly think of are Serial Killers who don't deserve another day on Earth. But I do believe a life for a life. Child Killers. The ones who are molesters who the system let's out. Then they kill. It has happened over and over. I think also they need to suffer. Their victims did. Bring the chair back. Just drifting off to sleep is too easy. IMO.In general, no. Absolutely not in favor of the death penalty.
HOWEVER, I can make an exception for scum like this. And like Kimster said, there better be SOLID, inescapable proof.
As for innocent people executed, the first one that comes to mind is always George Stinney.
Since 1973, more than 170 people who had been wrongly convicted and sentenced to death in the U.S. have been exonerated.
Death penalty case costs were counted through to execution (median cost $1.26 million). Non-death penalty case costs were counted through to the end of incarceration (median cost $740,000).

Wow! At least today we have DNA and the likelihood of a wrong conviction is very slim. But they better have it or other irrefutable evidence.In general, no. Absolutely not in favor of the death penalty.
