How many mass murderers do we have a year compared to the total prison populace? You could say the same thing about locking people up for popping Ecstasy pills and dancing like a nutter. Locking non violent offenders up is costing Americans dearly.

Besides, I am no expert, but I suspect lethal injection is quiet a costly procedure.
