Society may actually be pleased with, or at least content with, the value it is getting for its capital punishment dollar. Those who favor capital punishment say that why to keep murder in prison and feed him for the rest of his life from out taxpayers money. Study shows that putting a man for execution is far more expensive then keeping the man for life imprisonment.Putting a man at execution is six time more expensive then keeping him for life imprisonment? (freedman 2). .
There are substantial evidences that capital punishment does not deter crime. The state of Florida is the most executing state with the number the number of executions from year 1973 to 1995, are 870. But why are so many tourists murdered there? These are terrible crimes, committed in the states with the largest death row and the largest score of government sanctioned killings (Liebman 7). In a study conducted by Schiraldi and Godrey on the effects of executions found that there is a 9 percent increase in the murder rates, going from 306 per month before to 333 after the executions. In addition, the nation's crime rate rose 5% from 1982 to 1991. Like in Taxes for example, they have been executions weekly but the crime rate rose 24% instead and the violent crime rate rose 46% (Winters 4). One of the reasons is that most capital crime is committed in the heat of the moment. They are committed during moments or great emotional stress or under the influence of drug or alcohol, when logical thinking has been impaired. The offenders have no fear what so ever while committed the crime, or after they have committed the crime, because their task has been completed. They prefer to die rather than being put for life imprisonment, as it reduces the agony for them. The classic example of this is the case of Thomas Grasso in 1990. He was arrested for two murders, when the time came for his court order, he said that he preferred to die rather than life imprisonment, and his last words before execution were that he regretted getting caught! This proves that he was not at all sorry for his actions and neither had he any fear, which demolishes the whole purpose of capital punishment (Winters 8).
