How Would Banning the Death Penalty Affect Us in Our Everyday Life?
Question by spidersam408: How would banning the death penalty affect us in our everyday life?
These are my thoughts.
1. It could save us tax dollars, believe it or not, the death penalty costs more than life imprisonment. The whole process for a death penalty, from going to the supreme court, the attorneys, and even the injection altogether brings the total cost millions of dollars, for one person.
A life in prison however costs approximetely twenty thousand a year if I’m correct.
That’s one way i can see it affecting us everyday life Americans, can you guys think of any other way this can affect us?
woah, c’mon guys its a matter of what you think, I’m researching myself, but i’m trying to find out other people’s opinion

If will not affect us in any noticeble way.
Ah, to be that young and naive again. *sigh* Or maybe not.
Although no punitive system ever invented by man has deterred crime, banning the death penalty would result in wasting more taxpayer dollars on people who do not desire to be productive members of society. Give them two appeals; if those appeals fail then take them out into a field and shoot them in the head. This would be inexpensive and quick.
If you absolutely *must* keep them alive, at least pick an island in the Pacific Ocean somewhere and just drop them off and leave them there. They don’t want to fit into society, fine–they can create a society of their own and leave the rest of us alone.
It only saves us tax dollars if you stipulate that it has no affect on reducing the number of murders.
Try to imagine the cost of all the cases if there was no threat of death for having committed murder?
What about the, sure to increase, number of murder victims? Don’t they have value?
You need to recalculate.
This is a stretch, but sometimes accused people plead guilty to avoid the death penalty, on rare occasions they could be proven innocent.
Also I think the death penalty is reserved for the most dispicable crimes, and personally I think it is too easy on some of these people. Let them live out there days, and suffer the way there victims did.
