death penalty actually ends up costing more

That is the trotted out claim by those against the death penalty. I have not seen or run the numbers myself but I won't take their calculation on faith. And if true, it is a solvable problem. There is no law of nature that says that the cost of a death penalty case are higher than the cost of housing and feeding and clothing and SECURING them til death by natural causes.
