I wouldn't be able to find a source to confirm this, but I heard from someone in the know that when a person is executed, his or her family is then charged for any costs involved. If a condemned wrongdoer was shot, his relatives would be obliged to pay the price of the bullet that killed him! Mar 11 03, 8:40 AM

Just by way of offering some substantiation Norwich's answer, I have heard exactly the same thing regarding the family being charged for the bullet. Mar 11 03, 1:19 PM
