He probably means if we ignore the fact that court costs in death cases are on average 2-3x that of non-death cases, then it is cheaper to put someone to death.

That's not how I would read this passage:

The death penalty does the same thing except cheaper(if the person is relatively young to begin with). And the costs for capital punishment could be decreased even further by limiting what I feel to be the absurd appeal system in place in this country.
