I think its profitable to erase the scum so that the nonscum can live more peacefully. Any real sources? This one seems to blame the "costly" nature of the death sentence on not actually putting prisoners to death fast enough. In which I agree, if someone is found guilty of something and gets the Death Penalty it should be carried out in 12 months or less.
I also noticed they only measured the costs on a year to year basis. No real mention of the costs of feeding 1 man individually and clothing and housing him for 20, 30 or 40 years.
