Actor Alec Baldwin on death penalty.
"x x x.
Besides, it's justice we're after. So, if you take away the death penalty, there's justice all around. Because life in prison without parole is the worst possible sentence. Have you ever visited a prison? Ever been escorted around and spoken to inmates about what goes on there? How they feel? I have.
The death penalty costs us a lot of money. (Everyone involved with the issue knows the statistics and dollar figures.) The death penalty costs us more money that it costs to house an inmate for life. We don't want to kill innocent people. And we don't need to kill the guilty ones either.
Prison itself is the death penalty. In the slowest of slow motion.
x x x."
