I know it’s usually done by lethal injection, but there’s no way a few bullets are worth more than a lifetime’s supply of food. I honestly doubt a few hundred mL of anything besides liquid gold is either.
It’s all the damn legal fees.
Blame the lawyers for that!
not just that, inmates are on death row for upwards of decades. all that costs money too. there are appeals, and other legal formalities that all cost the state millions.
Again, not taking sides, just trying to show both sides of the argument.
