Rough numbers I heard last night on a TED talk were about $3M+ for each each person on death row. It might have been Oregon that looked at the numbers and then did away with capital punishment. I suppose we could always try to significantly reduce the costs of life imprisonment, but the whole "cruel and unusual" debate would likely become an issue, if you know what I mean.
