Death penalty cost facts
that's y it's an option pendejo
if the inmate doesn't want the meal fine but if they choose to accept this last nice gesture why deny them it?wat's ur reason for denying them a simple meal if they're going to pay for there crimes and be executed regardless?
wat about s and other asians?
just cause their sentence is ending doesn't mean they should get anything special. Why a meal? Why not give them a night with a hooker of their choosing or give them an xbox with their game of choice? It's just a ing meal. It doesn't make it any easier for them. And I guarantee you no human can enjoy a meal with the thought of their upcoming death in the back of their mind. It would take heroin to get that off their mind. I'm not saying it's bad that they have a last meal of their choice, but stop acting like they're taking away the last good experience of the prisoner's life
Tell that to some of the anti-death penalty groups that supplied the "facts" for that article.
$90,000 MORE a year to house a death row inmate?bull . You can't compare the cost to house an "average" inmate. They aren't going to throw stone cold killers into the general low security population even if they have life sentences.
So what if the appellate courts are bogged down with appeals...that doesn't raise the cost or justify the outrageous claims for millions more spent. Once the original trial is over the appeals are simply a battle of legal briefs that have to be read and ruled on by the judges. Most death penalty defenses are pro-bono or paid for by anti-death penalty organizations. That doesn't cost the state millions.
A new DNA test? big deal. THAT doesn't cost millions.
Where is all the extra cost?
You were talking out of your ass and got owned for it.
Just let it go bro.
Don't go the WC way of "the facts are wrong!!!11". Just let it go.
CosmicCowboy acting like he knows more than the people who have done mountains of research about which costs more
I just did some mental calculating and I agree that it's not that expensive to have someone on death row. My cost of living is well below $90,000 per year and that includes having a child, sending them to school, meals for three people, two car payments, etc. So there's no way it can cost more than $30,000 or so per year to house an inmate. The food is going to be cheap, the housing minimal. Some extra costs for the guards and everything but on a per prisoner level, it's inconsequential.
I think the numbers are inflated for budgetary reason.
Use your head numbnuts.
What are the additional costs?
Please itemize.

I agree. They are in one cell and aren't allowed much freedom. So there really isn't much cost at all to have them in there. Other than minimal cost for meals, clothing, and their prorated portion of the electricity, water, guards, etc.
Not calling them animals but it should be not too far out of line than the cost of keeping a pet.
When y'all are through jacking each other off try to answer the question.
how much research have you done on this topic? I didn't know rednecks on a ranch knew more about the legal system than everyone else!
KKKosmis/WC: "the facts are wrong!!!!!"
I'm actually quite familiar with the system. Besides my personal research my son clerked for a 5th circuit Federal appeals court judge, was involved reviewing briefs and writing opinions in numerous death penalty appeals at the court level and as a pro bono attorney for the defendant after he went to work for a big firm in DC. I am very familiar with the process as we have had extensive conversations on the subject.
why don't you take a stab at answering the question numbnuts?
For guys that use the term "facts" you losers sure are slinging a lot of bull and ducking and dodging.
If the article itself isn't enough, it seems to link to many different studies that it uses to support itself.
I hope Forbes is conservative enough for you to believe.
according to this web site http://www.lao.ca.gov/laoapp/laomenu...t.aspx?catid=3
$47,102 a year for one inmate
Florida is cheaper
12. How much does it cost to incarcerate an inmate for a year?
In Fiscal Year 2009-10, it cost $19,469 a year or $53.34 a day to feed, clothe, house, educate and provide medical services for an inmate at any state facility, and $15,498 to do so at a prison for adult males, which are the majority of individuals incarcerated in the Florida state prison system. For more inmate cost per day information, go to www.dc.state.fl.us/pub/annual/0910/budget.html.

Use you head
Of course STATISTICALLY death penalty cases cost more, because they have to GO TO TRIAL.Citing Richard C. Dieter of the Death Penalty Information Center, Fox reported that studies have “uniformly and conservatively shown that a death-penalty trial costs $1 million more than one in which prosecutors seek life without parole.”
A Urban Ins ute study (downloads as a pdf) found that “[i]n Maryland death penalty cases cost 3 times more than non-death penalty cases, or $3 million for a single case” while a 2004 Report from Tennessee Comptroller of the Treasury Office of Research that claimed “[i]n Tennessee, death penalty trials cost an average of 48% more than the average cost of trials in which prosecutors seek life imprisonment.”
Many of the life in prison convictions were PLEAD OUT, because the defendant didn't want to risk getting the needle. Take the threat of the death penalty away and they have no incentive to plea bargain and will go to court, thus COSTING MORE.
Again people. Use your heads.
In Texas, a death penalty case costs an average of $2.3 million, about three times the cost of imprisoning someone in a single cell at
the highest security level for 40 years. (Dallas Morning News, March 8, 1992).
