The cost varies by state, but an average cost of long-term care in a nursing home is $60,000. That's why it is wise to get Long-Term Care insurance or LTC at or around age 65,â¦ when still active and the cost is low.
More than 100 of California's Death Row inmates have died in the last 40 years. Barely one in 10 were executed.
California's death penalty has been the subject of a decade of litigation. One case led to a halt to executions in 2006. Another resulted in a federal judge's ruling last July that the state's interminably slow capital appeals system is unconstitutionally cruel. Through it all, the death row population has grown from 646 in 2006 to 751 today.
