Yeah, I think a long time in prison is better, be it 50 years or a whole life, though it will be more expensive for the government.

In the US, the costs really depend on the state. Some states take years upon years and allow many appeals. They also provide lawyers (if you can't afford it). Not to mention keeping the prisoner in death row is more expensive than regular.
