Lengthy Appeals:
Defendants sentenced to death are entitled to automatic appeals, which can go on for years, incurring significant legal fees for both the prosecution and defense.

Death row inmates require specialized housing and heightened security measures, which add to the overall cost.
Irreversible Nature:
The finality of the death penalty necessitates extra precautions and legal safeguards, further increasing expenses.
