Yes, but life imprisonment saves money:

without parole sentences as an alternative punishment."

What were the arguments in favor of it?

There is probably no justification for discussions  (in the U.S.) in
favor of Morality.
After all, from 1783 to the present the U.S.has been at war for nearly
all of its history.

"Since The United States of America was founded in 1776, this country
has been in war for 222 years. That is, the 93% of its time since it
exists. Only 21 years were peaceful."
