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?
