ALL CALIFORNIANS should rejoice over this! This decision to call the death penalty unconstitutional is morally right and will save our state BILLIONS of dollars. In California, incarceration costs for death penalty prisoners totaled more than $1 billion from 1978 to 2011 (total costs outside of incarceration were another $3 billion). By the numbers, the annual cost of the death penalty in the state of California is $137 million compared to the cost of lifetime incarceration of $11.5 million. LIKE & SHARE to support this historic ruling and COMMENT BELOW to let us know if you think we should now use all the money saved to reduce recidivism instead of fighting appeals.
