Why can other Western countries live without the death penalty? Why do we insist on having it?

Perhaps they hold it in order to have a punishment greater than the life sentence. Personally, I am for a cheaper death penalty. I would like to have one that doesn't cost more than a life sentence since that is simply absurd. The person needs to be housed and fed for a lesser amount of time if he is to be executed, so paying more for that lesser time is silly. The appealation processes need to be cut.
