Yes, CP does permanently stop someone from comitting a crime ever again - so does locking them up for the rest of their miserable life. Thus, no
need to kill them.
More cost effective?
The very
opposite is actually the case. It is much(!) cheeper to keep someone in prison without parole, than have him on death row and executed.
Free up space?
If the USA would execute every person on death row right now, your prisons would still be completely
overcrowded, it would not change anything at all, so the "free up space" argument is irrelevant.
If CP works so well and makes society better/safer, how comes that the USA is actually the only western country that still uses it
and has a totally sick society and overcrowded prisons?
