One can google this question and find out that it costs much more to execute someone then to put him/her in prison for life.

Here's a article from USA Today that says that's it's cheaper to house a prisoner then execute them.

I would imagine the appeals process when a prisoner in sentenced costs a fortune, so probably cheaper to keep them in prison.

Unless the executing is done without due process ,,,,
Maybe this ought to be done more often by law abiding citizens who have a right to carry. In some cases I would not have a problem with that,, laugh
All kidding aside, there have been mistakes made, and innocents put to death. I'd rather see a criminal worthy of the death penalty, spend a long life in prison, with absolutely no chance of ever getting out.

If you add up the Cost of all the Appeals until that Sentence can be carried out,it might be cheaper to house and feed the Prisoner for the rest of his life!

I think would be executioners willing to do it for free with certain people, and pay the lethal injection.

What currency are we talking here?

Pounds Sterling, class and style, revenge, morality...?

PS. Glad you haven't given up on creating polls, Mr.Rick.
