I'm against the death penalty because I'd prefer to live in a country that doesn't kill its own citizens. This has nothing to do with saving money or rehabilitating people.
Also, we lock people up to punish them as well as to try to rehabilitate them. There are some acts for which the correct punishment is that we lock them up for the rest of their lives.
