Absolutely. This is the easiest "pro-death penalty" issue there is to argue. Death row inmates are separated from the rest of the jail community. They do not participate in any work that inmates do that help defray the costs of the prison running. Not to mention the really expensive appeals and such that go on for YEARS.
Plus, it's not a deterrent, never has been, never will be.
