Except that it is many times cheaper to incarcerate a prisoner for life than it is to put one through death row.

This is a lie. Once proven guilty or not, death penalty is much cheaper on average. Before proven guilty, everyone deserves the same fair trial and the cost it the same.

Whoops. That's twice now you've called me a liar without backing it up.

Cliffs notes - it costs (depending on who you ask and what state) 2 to 10 times as much to push someone through death row as it does to when life in prison without parole is sought.
The fact it costs a ton of money to execute a criminal is a problem with the government not the punishment.

Anything law related in this country costs way more than it should or needs to but it has unfortunately gone that way.

Retribution.
if its retribution against the perpetrator, how would the punishment follow them into death? You don't belive in God I belive, so how is killing them retribution? What is so terrible in death? What awaits for them in death? In death they are at peace, do you realy want to give them peace?
