Enforcing the death penalty costs Florida $51 million a year above what it would cost to punish all first-degree murderers with life in prison without parole. Based on the 44 executions Florida had carried out since 1976, that amounts to a cost of $24 million for each execution. (Palm Beach Post, January 4, 2000). http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/FactSheet.pdf How much does it cost to incarcerate an inmate for a year?-In Fiscal Year 2011-12, it cost $17,972 a year or $49.24 a day to feed, clothe, house, educate and provide medical services for an inmate at any state facility, and $14,059 to do so at a prison for adult males, which are the majority of individuals incarcerated in the Florida state prison system. http://www.dc.state.fl.us/oth/faq.html
