A 1982 in-depth study of death penalty costs in New York placed the cost of
executing a prisoner at over $1.8 million. This figure is three times the
cost of imprisoning a person for life, and it includes only three stages of
judicial proceedings. It does not include additional court, security, and
counsel fees, nor does it include estimated millions of dollars associated
with state and federal post-conviction reviews and with the execution
itself.

What is the cost to society for life imprisonment? I'd rather have my tax
dollars go elsewhere........
