Why free room and board for life at taxpayer’s expense? Yearly costs for incarceration differ by state, but it has to be over 30,000 per year. The death penalty is there for a reason. It is reiterated in every book of the Pentateuch: you shall not let a murderer live.
See my post #13.
Since reparations are currently in style, why shouldn’t all relatives of the convicted murderers be held liable for all incarceration expenses?
