Does it have to be that expensive? Have there been efforts to cut costs?

I don't disagree with the second statement, frivolous prison sentences cause all sorts of problems, but I disagree that life sentence costs are insignificant.

Making an effort to cut costs is likely to mean that more innocent people get executed.
