The test of our progression as a race lies in whether we continiue to hold on to this "eye for an eye" mentality or not. The way we carry out things is out of revenge, not justice. The death penalty is stupid because once we do it we do the very same thing that the person on deathrow did. It's perfectly fine to just lock the person up nice and tight. For 1) He will be ultimately powerless, 2) He can't interact with the outside world, and 3) any followers of his will have their morale weakened as opposed to if we killed him.
