How utterly ridiculous.
It is not good to keep someone locked up forever because their debt to society can never be repaid; it is also unjust to make a man forever pay for his crime (like denying him all the rights, privileges, and responsibilities of a citizen) even after serving his sentence. The only right way to do it is to make the death one of relative speed and some dignity rather than caging them up like animals instead of men for large fractions of their normal span of life.
Has yours been repaid?

Now that's a new one I haven't seen before. Interesting and creative but I'm pretty sure there's nothing in criminal law that states that as a reason for capital punishment. No, but that's an argument similar to taking the life of a baby, elderly, or infirmed because someone in their manifest great wisdom has decreed it's better for them to die. God has given individuals the right to life, which is sacred.
