I am torn on the issue as well. Part of my believes that incorrigibly evil folk deserve to die. However, how do we determine if they are incorrigible? How can we be 100% certain that they are guilty? Does close enough count in this situation?
Unfortunately, it is more expensive to execute someone than it is to incarcerate them. I guess it would be nice if we could send all of them to the moon or something like that. Maybe we could send them to Iraq and Afghanistan. "Ok, here you are. Here's one month's worth of food and water plus one handgun and three boxes of bullets. See you around."
