Re: Capital Punishment

To those against the death penalty-
How much a year per person does it cost for a person to be in jail?
Do you realize that the most vicious people are at the top of the social ladder in jail, thereby refuting the idea that life in prison is worse then the death penalty?
How can you both claim
1) life in prison is worse then death
2) you don't support the death penalty because it could lead to the death of innocent people
these two statements completely contradict each other to me. Maybe it's too late.
Borodog- Can you explain your point a little more?

This is a good question. Basically it comes down to the fact that when a person is still alive, a mistaken conviction can be overturned.
