Somebody has already paid "an eye for an eye" for those criminals and their heinous acts, so unjust double jeopardy is in play here.

Wrong 'eye' for payment.

? Countless personal and professional examples testify to the fact that there is only one way victims of savagery can recover from the hurt and angst of victimization: forgiveness

Agree, for the survivors. Justice is within the purview of the state, where there is the death penalty, that judgement has been made. The state has to need of forgiveness as an impersonal entity.

- What about the cost? Oh, OK well I guess there is such thing as killing for convenience, but let's take another tack which hits directly at our medieval penal system: prisoners should be productive and at least pay their way in prison.

So the argument that has merit that you don't refute is deflected to another pipe dream.

Haven’t seen much refutation here.
