He Slit His Childrens' Throats

Never worked in the past and neither has the death penalty.

Neither has a long jail sentence. Why not give the criminal the option of being put to death or remaining in a cel for the rest of his life? It seems like a practical solution as I am sure there are some who would choose death and it would be less expensive than feeding and housing them for a lifetime as well as free up room in over crowded prisons. Maybe we could even turn some of the prisons into rehab facilities for people who were convicted of drug related crimes.

Its a myth that the death penalty would reduce the costs of prison.
For a start the number of capital crimes as a percentage of the prison population is minimal, and costs are actually increased because death-row tends to be more expensive for a range of very good reasons; solitary; extra legal; enhanced appeals procedure.
Prisons are a price worth paying. But the population could be reduced far more effectively by putting fewer people in prison in the first place; reducing crime and the underlying reasons for crime.
Why is the US so poor at doing this?

just put him in with general population in prison and tell other prisoners what he did

You are a sick little puppy.
What qualifies you to judge another person when you don't have the first clue about his life and what led him to the events for which he will undoubtedly be punished for?
