For one, its cheaper to house them forever. Secondly, we wont have any innocent people executed. Thirdly, having executions solely promotes the lust for revenge in society, which (as i said above) only propagates more violence. The law should be about deterring crime; studies have shown that having the death penalty does not decrease the number of murders. Thus, having the death penalty is purely so that people can feel avenged, or have their revenge on somebody, which is just adding more blood-lust to our already too violent society
