Against.

Studies have shown that it costs taxpayers more money to keep the death penalty due to all the litigation preventing the convicted from being executed for their crime.

I'd rather save that money and give them life sentences without parole where they can live the rest of their lives in utter misery and perhaps get ass-raped a few times in prison. To me, that's more painful than a quick death at the hands of the government.

Edit: And it's not like the death penalty is a deterrant for people who commit murder. Homicide in this country is higher than ever.
