Again, in the overall prison population, only a small percentage are actually put to death.

Against my better judgement I'm chiming in - but it costs more to keep people on Death Row than it does to keep them in prison for life. Those appeals and what not obviously very costly...so from a taxpayer standpoint alone -wouldn't life with no parole be better than death penalty which costs you, the taxpayer, more?
I'll try to scare up some articles on this little statistic but I know I've read that several times...
