Death penalty is the punishment of execution, administered to someone legally convicted of a capital crime.
$1.9 billion (trial costs) $925 million (automatic appeals and state habeas corpus petitions) $775 million (federal habeas corpus appeals) $1 billion (costs of incarceration)
Since billion dollars have bin spent in California for the courses of using the death penalty 11 executions cost about 90,000 dollars.

I think that I would stop the death penalty and make the prisoners stay in prison for the rest of their life. The money that is use for the death penalty can be use for important stuff not killing people. Like making more prisons.
Because its wrong It’s a waste of money If they make more prisons than they don’t have to kill them.
