Sure technically execution is a life sentence but not of your natural life.
And the latter is true, executions are incredibly expensive due to the number of appeals and court trials that need to take place before said execution. Not to mention the increasing challenge of obtaining the correct drugs required.
Most of the time executions are just life sentences that have their costs increased dramatically due to the legal process that needs to be undertaken when deciding the fate of a human life.
Taking into account that most sentences to execution are overturned and that you will eventually kill an innocent person, the death penalty just doesnt make any sense.
