In the U.S. it's more expensive than 40 years in prison.

In the U.S. we've executed innocents.

Those two should be reason enough to be against it. I don't think there would be an easy way to get the legal costs down.

>>55473033
The meme that it's more expensive is like the wage gap meme--DEBUNKED.

It's only more expensive because the state has to pay over and over for bullshit appeals that usually fail. Not to mention the last minute cries for reprieve and clemency, etc. Most of those appeals are pro-bono on the criminal defense side, by libtarded groups like the Innocence Project. Meanwhile, citizens are stuck paying for the prosecution. The libtard groups get to say "but it's more expensive!" even though they're the ones CAUSING it to be more expensive.

Otherwise, you can do the simple math--keeping someone in a cage for their natural life, clothed, fed, and entertained vs. finally putting them down like a panel of their peers suggested.
>>
>>55473033
The only reason I don't like the death penalty is because government officials will always be incompetent. I can't condone falsely sentencing someone to death. If they are given life in prison they still have a chance to prove their innocence, also the "death penalty" as it is today is just a bureaucratic nightmare where prisoners spend 60 years spending more money than normal prisoners anyways before they get put to death. There's no reason to imprison someone for their entire life and then spend a shit ton to kill them at the end of their life.
>>
>>55473426
Plus these days, with forensic evidence, DNA evidence, finger prints and video survelience technology, a 100% guilty verdict is possible.

We could even throw them in a brain scanner if want to appeal, just to be sure if they're lying or not.

Well, we must take responsibility for our actions.
Death penalty should be swifter, and only used for the most awful crimes: pre planned murder, child abduction, rape, treason.

Some people don't understand that their actions have consequences. I'm pro death penalty in principle, but our justice system is too fucked up. There have been so many innocent people freed after years of prison because the legal system is flawed.
Would I trust the state to send a person to death? No fucking way.
Would I wish death upon the worst killers and criminals? Yes.

That's not an argument against the death penalty, it's an argument against bureaucracy, which I agree with.

One of the reasons why death row is such a convoluted cluster fuck in this country is because we have executed so many innocent people in the last hundred years that our appeals process could easily cost half a million dollars now, I mean Dallas alone figured out they executed 20 innocent people since the 80's

Prison is too expensive too.

We need the death penalty back, or else we're basically saying that regardless of what you do you never deserve to die. That's a moral hypocrisy and total cowardice. People who commit the most obscene crimes should be killed, and quickly

Nope murder would go up because murderers can get off with a death instead of life in prison.

Also killing people is way more expensive. Lawyers get paid 120K a year and judges 300K

Its not the actually execution that cost all the money, its the appeal process to make sure we don't murder innocent people because we have murdered so many innocent people in the last 100 years. There are countries that wont even sell us the drugs for lethal injection anymore because of it.

I'm not arguing for the viability of increasing use of the death penalty, I'm just saying that the ethical concerns about it don't really apply anymore. Yeah, ultimately people follow their feelings more than logic, and we can't change that, but that doesn't make us wrong.

You don't have to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt to be convicted for rape and sent to jail.

A mixture of trying to be humane and mob justice mentality.
The best method of killing a person is to load their body with nitrous oxide. They get a euphoric feeling, right before their body fails due to lack of O2.
But, that's a good way out. The person they killed (assuming that's why they are on death row in the first place) never got that chance. So a middle ground exists to satisfy the bloodlust of the victim.

San Quentin Prison in California has almost 700 prisoners on death row.
Most die of illness or old age.
Stick them all in a bunch of flatbed trailers
Get a bunch of rope
Hang them one after the other from light posts from the prison to San Francisco
Let them hang until they rot and fall down
Do this at every prison across the US
Low cost, quick, and a visual example of what happens when you violate the law
New policy, after conviction, a review of evidence, 30 days later string them up
>>
>>55473033
The way they want to do it, yes cost alot.
IMO, they should just use rope or bullets.

Yeah the death penalty is pretty stupid. Not only do some innocent people get put to death, but it just doesn't make sense.

People want to show they're better than someone by killing them?

In my opinion a lifetime in prison is the worst punishment possible. I'd rather get executed in 5 years as opposed to living for 50 in prison.

Worst punishment possible? nigga... you don't live much different now than you would on the inside. Working out, reading books, fuck... A motivated intelligent man could complete doctoral level education in all sciences and mathematics, along with literature and music/arts.

Not to mention completing all of these would put you on a fast path to parole.


I would gladly take life to execution.
>>
>>55478659
that is an understandable view, but there are a few issues here

1. many people don't mind prison
in america so many people go to jail or prison that in many communities it's normal to do some time for something
many people on death row havn't done one heinous thing, rather it's the last in a string of crimes
many have been to jail several times, and have been in for most of their lives
when they get out they have no money, no job, some just see it as a vacation from prison
for that reason prison isn't a deterrent

2. liberal ideas about the purpose of prison are delusional, it's first and foremost for protecting the community by locking dangerous people away
reform is secondary
moral judgement is right at the end, and actually holds the other two back

3. "right" is relative
if someone has ebola and you lock them in a hospital is that wrong?
they didn't choose to get it, they don't want to be locked up.

in a similar way people who are "probably guilty" get locked up on the basis that the overwhelming majority are, and it's better for everyone that 99 guilty men and an inocent are locked up

is it fair? no.
is it reasonable? yes.

4. resource allocation
you can educate a hundred people at risk of becoming career criminals
provide physical protection to fifty people in the community
kill twenty people
reform 10 people
or give one person a life term

that's the magnitude of cost here, in the US system if they give life terms, they simply don't have money to pursue better value options
>>
>>55473033
These claims are about the absurd appeals process, which takes decades and costs millions. The killing method is not relevant to cost.
