President Joe Biden on Monday announced that he is commuting the sentences of 37 of the 40 people on federal death row, converting their punishments to life imprisonment just weeks before President-elect Donald Trump, an outspoken proponent of expanding capital punishment, takes office.
The three still on the federal death row are: Dylann Roof, the shooter at the Mother AME Church in South Carolina in hopes of starting a race war (captured, taken out for breakfast before booking); Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev; and Robert Bowers, the shooter at Pittsburgh’s Tree of life Synagogue.

Life without parole is way cheaper than the multiple appeals that go with a death penalty sentence, even if the person says they don't want to fight the penalty.
