“To The Pain” is a much better solution as it leaves a lasting example and warming to others.
“‘To the pain’ means that the first thing you lose will be your feet below the ankles. Then your hands at the wrists, next your nose… The next thing you lose will be your left eye, followed by your right. […] Your ears you keep, and I’ll tell you why: so that every shriek of every child at seeing your hideousness will be yours to cherish; every babe that weeps at your approach; every woman who cries out, ‘Dear God! What is that thing?’ will echo in your perfect ears. That is what ‘to the pain’ means; it means I leave you in anguish, wallowing in freakish misery, forever.”
While I tend to agree from an emotional and comeuppance perspective, stuff like zero tolerance laws a d “law and order” policies tend to show tackling the source and causes of crime for most to be more effective than a harsh punishment, with similar things with rehabilitation. That said, some people just gotta die. For everyone else’s sake, or they just keep repeating their actions.

You’re absolutely right, we should rehabilitate most people as best we can but also just straight up murder sonsabtiches of a certain caliber.
