It is, in Communist China, and most Islamic nations, but not in the USA.
This is because in Red China, for example, the condemned person is usually shot point-blank in the head, by the local community Chief of Police, and within a half-hour of being sentenced.
Cost of that execution: One bullet.
In some Islamic nations, beheading is the preferred method of execution (or hanging, in the case of Saddam Hussein) and in each case, the "costs" to do so, are negligible.
In the USA, we are so concerned with the rights of the condemned, that we forget all about his/her victims.
