Texas death row inmates

What's that got to do with anything? People on death row are there to die, not to be supported by the system for the rest of their natural lives, all at taxpayer cost. Death Rowers were sent there by a jury of their peers after a fair trial for a horrible and violent crime. I wonder what the murder rate would be if the death penalty were actually enforced more often. Unfortunately, due to court and lawyer costs, it is far more expensive to execute a convicted felon than it is to support one for the rest of his life, so it doesn't happen often.
