I've done the research for a paper a couple years back, government class. Execution can easily cost upwards of a million dollars, plus some. Life sentence, just say 30-40 years, costs around $250k.
If you're desperate for numbers, I'll go see what I can dig up.
But the whole "cheaper for tax payers to kill" theory is incredibly false. Ever since I learned the truth, it drives me absolutely crazy when someone uses expenses to justify the death penalty.
