OH I like this solution...
as for if they are in jail for years and years.... and my tax dollars have to pay for it... so be it... it is doing that right now.... but take away the luxeries such as telephones, computers and televisions..... and let them sit and wait and wait...
just my two cents

Yeah, and the Chinese are such humanitarians that when they put a bullet in the back of your head they bill your family for the bullet just to remind them to shut up and not bitch too loudly about your death.someone said:
It's cheaper than paying the slime ball lawyers to argue over it for 10 years.papasmerf said:

Ever notice how lawyers are always "slimeballs" and "money grubbing"?
Let me ask you lawyer-haters a question. Do you know why Shakespeare wrote "first thing, let's kill all the lawyers"? Do you know what it means in the context of the play?

Well, it does if the convict can't afford a lawyer, it pays the judges and it pays the prosecuting attorneys. I'd be willing to bet that it costs more to execute someone than it does to keep them in prison for life.papasmerf said:

Cute In A Kilt said:Hey, my ppl are industrious and without em, how much do you think our day to day living would be and what kind of dollar stores would we have. As for turning a blind eye to human rights abuses, ahhhhh, how many ppl did US kill for an unjustified war. Life goes on.. Plus China maybe puts to death 2 - 4 thousand ppl a year, with 1.3 billion ppl there, I consider it population control.
I hope you are kidding. Its not the chinese people, its the government - military complex which suppresses them
It does. In some states two or three times more expensive and in danger of breaking their budgets because of it.onthebottom said:

So Texas must really be in the poorhouse after the 150 or so executions during Dubya's watch alone. I was expecting to see Texas mentioned in the above article about the cost of executing prisoners but there was only a sentence or so. Maybe they keep their costs down the same way they do in Louisiana - by simply not paying the public defence lawyers representing the accused:Asterix said:
"..Several lawyers in Louisiana are asking courts to postpone death penalty cases until there is sufficient funding to pay the attorneys. Because of a loss in revenue, private attorneys appointed by the court to handle death penalty cases as well as other criminal cases have not been paid in a year. The lawyers who handle these cases are concerned about the consequences for their clients: "I think poor people get poor representation. They are represented by overworked public defenders and private lawyers who aren't getting paid. That is not equal justice." (The Advocate, 4/5/99).."
What lawyer could afford to put up a proper defence of his client knowing he may never be paid? No wonder they throw these cases involving poor defendants. They'll go broke if they don't. This is insanity!
Another link. The reference to a Dallas Morning News article is at the bottom. Texas spends three times on death penalty cases as it would cost to keep in inmate incarcerated in the highest security cell for 40 years.slowpoke said:

after spending sixteen years in a federal pen i say death to all that deserve it especially killers and molesters.
you , the taxpayers are paying $100,000 a year to keep criminals in a medium/max institution in ontario.
there are so many scum bags wasteing YOUR money (and the government condoning it) it makes me sick.
there is so much waste in government run programs that i haven';t paid taxes since 82 and still make $350,000./year tax free (helps pay for the sp addiction!
