Here is what you said....
It costs more to put someone to death than it does to house them
Were you trying to say that it costs more to try someone in a death penalty case than it does for a life in prison case???
Once the appeals are done, other than an IV, a syringe, some meds, and a cardiac monitor, the cost is probably less than 50 bucks do to a lethal injection.
vs. the 19 grand it costs per year to house a criminal in FL
Inmate Cost Per Day
Most (58.5%) of the daily cost to incarcerate an inmate in a major prison is spent on security, followed by 21.8% for medical services. The remaining 20% is spent on feeding, clothing and educating inmates, and some administrative issues, as you can see from the pie chart.
Cost of Imprisonment:
$52.06 Per Day/ $19,002 Per Year
