In my opinion, if this country went back to public hangings in the public square, where one and all could see what the result of committing a crime, actually looks like, we would see less crime. Less rapes, less murders, less everything. I'm not saying drag the convicted straight out from the court room to the gallows, but give the convicted, less say, ten days to plead his/her conviction. Public hangings use no electricity (save the environment), no chemicals to pollute the air, and no bullets from a firing squad to cause lead cancer. Using ropes is also part of conservation. We can use a rope more than once.

OR, go by the old 'eye for an eye' punishment. If you shot a person to death, you die by firing squad. If you stabbed a person, you will be stabbed to death. And so forth and so on. If a felon known he/she would experience the same type of death his victim did, he/she would, MAYBE, think twice about committing that crime.

But, of course, I may be wrong.
