The best comparator is for murder rates before and after a change in use of the death penalty.

So what would you say about murder rates here since it was abolished then ?

I could go with that, esp the last point.

I've always viewed it this way - something I've literally stood firm on all my life. I think it's more cost effective in both the short-term (the scaling of money on the basis of the category of prisoner) to the long term (the economic benefits of improving the skills and qualifications of the prisoner to contribute towards tax and their expendable income on goods that improve VAT receipts and corporation tax for the government from sales of goods and services).

If someone has life, there's no point spending more on him/her than someone who's in for a petty crime who would benefit from skills and qualifications to use in the outside world.

I studied crime and deviation in Sociology, albeit for 3 months. But the information I learnt is interesting for anyone interested. Whilst I am no expert, the figures show the ones in prison for a few months to a few years are likely to re-offend because they have no skills or qualifications to sustain a job.

Of course the flaw in my ideas is that if they keep re-offending, they'll keep getting money from the tax payer to them through educational means. Which is why I also support a point based system, the more you re-offend. You lose points, which effect what you will be given in prison. Once these are all up, sorry bud. No training for you, you're on your own.

I honestly believe this would improve literacy and numeracy skills and ultimately be more beneficial to a prisoner than slamming the bars shut then forgetting about them (provided their crime is not of a serious one).

Basic ideas which can be added to, so I'd agree with anyone that says the severity of a crime lessens the opportunities of study whilst inside.

And like most things the death penalty is not quite as black and white as it seems.

The average prisoner on death row in the States is there for 10 years before he / or she is executed, and the time between sentencing and execution continues to increase.

Yeah, it's a sound system. This would also give prisoners some time to prove their worth and also give the rehab team some time to assess whether the individual is redeemable. It's fair.
