Although I agree wholeheartedly with the argument, I thought a life term at Pelican Bay (or insert favorite prison here) was insanely expensive. Even moreso than the appeals process.

Not all of them are at a facility like Pelican Bay. Moreover, they are still sucking up the exepnse of living during an appeal, so we are talking about the margin between the end of the apppeals process and their natural (or unnatural) death. Honestly I have not kept abreast of the latest studies, so I am not sure how the expense issue plays out, but think it is pretty close. Perhpas SU cna chime in on this.
