More expensive than housing and healthcare for the rest of their pathetic life? Gruesome is rotting in a cell homegirl. Are death penalty crimes reversible?

Are death penalty crimes reversible?

Yes they are. For example, if they've got the wrong guy. You can hardly release someone who is innocent but dead.

[–] boatsnhos931@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

That's a conviction not the crime cutie

[–] HopFlop@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

That doesn't matter. The conviction is reversible, the death of a person isn't.

Exactly my point, you took my loved ones life. I'm not a Christian, now I take your life. We are even Steven :))

Except it wasnt actually me, you got me confused with another person. Should my loved one then have the right to kill you?

My b, I'm getting popular 😂 if I killed them unjustly.. definitely.. is that a rhetorical question?? If my loved one killed another person unjustly then they should die as well as sad as id be.

Yes to all of those.
Civilized countries don't let people "rot in cells". A healthy prison system treats inmates with respect and gives them the opportunity to return to a regular life. Yes, even murderers and rapists.

So yes to it's cheaper to house and rehabilitate then hopefully integrate someone than to execute them? Might want to check your numbers one more time, those edibles are pretty strong

I don't like drugs. I do like to back up my claims with sources though:

People aren't just shot in the head by the judge. Death penalty is expensive.

Of course any TRIAL is expensive and if they win life imprisonment, you STILL have to pay all those trial costs.Im talking about the expenses to keep the person alive versus the cost to kill them not all the lawyer bills.Plus that study is almost 40 years old, you think anything has changed from 89 cuz?
