    Sure, but there’s also cost to the state to be considered.

    That said, the common methods for execution used today are surprisingly expensive.

      Isn’t it more expensive to execute someone vs a life sentence?

      We should do another penal colony. Like Venus or something.

      Also experimental. No one wants to make the drugs used to end life so states are buying expired product and shady drugs from Indian compound pharmacies.

        Those shady indian pharmacies are one of the things keeping american pharmaceuticals from skull fucking the plebs every chance it gets. Those boys are fine in my book. That countries approach to pharmaceuticals is commendable overall.

      It doesn’t have to be.
