I always think the death penalty is a loose loose situation you have. If you kill an innocent man you loose, if you kill a mentally ill man you loose, if you kill a guilty man he suffers no longer so you loose again. Wouldnt spending the rest of his life in a prison be a worse punishment?

If that was my daughter I would prefere knowing that he is miserable in prison for the rest of his life.

Add to that, it seems that your death row prisoners get far better conditions while they are in prison, then spend years and years there, then often never get executed. Seems like they are getting not a bad deal compared to being stuck in a real prison for the rest of their lives from day one
