It has been debated that death penalty is not immoral and it

It also claimed that death penalties can actually help build up a society and helps promote steady improvements in the organization of the penal system. The death penalty serves as a penalty imposed to protect rather than avenge for the society. However, as Scalia states, that the mistaken tendency to believe that a democratic government, being nothing more than the composite will of its individual citizens, has no more moral power or authority that they do as individuals has adverse effects in other areas as well.

On average, it costs six times as much to kill one person as it costs to incarcerate that person to life (3.2 million versus $600,000 in Florida).
