I think it costs more to have them on death row because of things like legal appeals. I think death row inmates get a few layers of appeals. And if the person in indigent, the taxpayers pick up the tab for the appeals.
I think you are right. But I still don’t think Gov Corzine & his bunch ought to make the call. Put it to the people of the state of NJ. IMO the death penalty does deter more crime. In any case if NJ can can tax the he!! out of us for any reason they will.
