You've asked some very good questions and some of them are quite unexpected. For example, as it would be frightening for prisoners on death row to escape from prison, it's useful to ask if there have been cases of it happening. The possibility of escape I suppose could be an additional argument on the pro-death penalty side. I also like the way you take an international perspective in your questions by asking questions like "Is death penalty not only applied to murderers but also to rapists and thieves"? Finally, I'm pleased that you take nothing for granted by asking the excellent question: "Is the death penalty cheaper than keeping the criminal alive?" You might be surprised by the answer you find to this question.
