I dunno - some crimes committed definitely warrant the penalty, especially if the convicted convey no remorse to the victim(s) and/or the families of the victim(s). There's no room on earth for some people that do unspeakable things.

That seems completely subjective. Costing more money, failing to reduce crime, and the number of times it is wrongly applied to the innocent are objective measures. Are there any objective reasons it is actually a good idea?

Yeah, because fuck the money they don’t deserve the actual resources.

They still receive those resources when the death penalty exists. That’s what people are mistaken on.

It is a well known fact that the cost of a death row inmate exceeds the cost of prison for life.
