If you wish to rid the individual from society for the rest of his life, you can do this far more economically if you sentence him to life without the possibility of parole.
DP as a deterrent?? Probably not.

There is an economic factor that has to be considered.
A lethal injection costs how much? 100.00 bucks being a high figure? Compared to 25k or more per year to house an inmate.........I heard somewhere it was like 80k but I used 25 as a a starting point.
I believe where proof is irrefutable, that the death penalty shoul dbe carried out as swiftly as possible.
Some of the murdering, raping scum that still walk this earth in the friendly confines of a prison are wasting their time and ours. Plus, they have it better off inside a prison than out.
I'm all in favor of public beheadings if it means my kids will be safer.
Don't kill or rape others and you will be just fine.
F*ck em!
