If the Death Penalty doesn't have a profit motive, and is so obviously barbaric, why do political groups and people in America still rally behind it? Surely there's more to it than most Americans just being blood thirsty monsters, right?

Prisons themselves are still profitable. Private prisons get a government stipend tied to the number of inmates. That's all cost to the state and/or federal budget, but the people writing bills take campaign donations from the prisons.
that makes sense. thank you
