Viva Leroy Nash, a prisoner on death row, has died of natural causes. After spending almost $2.43 million on him at $90,000 per year, taxpayers didn’t even recover a cent of that money by meting out punishment commensurate to his crimes.
The man has been convicted of crimes numerous times, including armed robbery, shooting of a police officer and murder after he had escaped from prison the last time. If anyone deserves to be hanged, it was Nash.
Heck, what’s the point of death row if its worst inmates die of natural causes?
Either hang ‘em or release ‘em into regular prisons. $90,000 per year per death row inmate is too much of an expense on the tax-payers’ dime.
