    Ok but thats literally just punishment for the sake of self satisfaction that someone is suffering, at least for me the only somewhat legit rationale for the death penalty is that the person in question will never reasonably stop being a danger to others without essentially removing their ability to function at all and therefore its a quicker end for everyone involved.

    Though even in that case in an ideal scenario its preferable to have facilities were people are able to live out their days as well as possible if they so choose, death by the state should preferably only be used in extreme cases were there is either not resources or the person in question is exceptionally dangerous, or if the person chooses death over confinement.
