I guess the comparison I'd like to see would be: What is the cost to house a prisoner for life behind bars. <br /><br />The only way to solve crime and the cost of crime is through education, awareness and culture change. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.guardian-self-defense.com/" title="Pepper Spray" rel="nofollow">Guardian Self Defense</a>Guardianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15839311621847560847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-819711698688655785.post-60639491412516842092010-04-08T17:57:32.409-07:002010-04-08T17:57:32.409-07:00What about the crime that was committed by the per...What about the crime that was committed by the person who got the death penalty? Are criminals committing for heinous crimes that are deserving of the death penalty? <br /><br />Once they criminal receives the death penalty, there should be a 90 period of which an appeal will be done.
