I'm for it. If you're old enough to do the crime you should do the time. It also costs tax payers to keep them in jail. The justice system here in the USA is horrible.

agreeded, i hope who ever said it costs more to kill than to life imprison a felon was kidding. iits roughly 75000-80000 a year for canadian prisoners in the federal system. I dont know the exact cost of lethal injection/e chair but i know it aint even close to those figures(18 year old(lives till ave age 76) thats 58 years in jail, 58x800000=$4, 640, 000.00, and thats without any inflation(haha)
NO WAY should 3-4-5 million dollars of our tax dollars go to rapists, sex predators, and violent murders.
You can't tell me a serial rapist targeting young girls/boys shoudlnt by zapped? [/b][/quote]
You should listen to the several people that have pointed out this is incorrect.
The legal fees involved with the multiple appeals cost more than life in prison.
"It saves tax payers money" is a false statement. It costs more.
