I believe the average cost of keeping someone in prison is about $20,000 a year. So, a killer would have to live at least 50 years in jail to cost one million. Actually, it costs more to give someone the death penalty than it does to send them to life imprisonment, since there are so many appeals nowadays and it is a lot more expensive to keep someone on death row, where they usually stay for many years, than in the general prison population.
My belief is that if society says it is wrong to kill, then it is wrong for society to kill.
