I would only advocate for it in cases of taking an innocent life. Call it a "pound of flesh" if you will. What should we call imprisoning an innocent person for life? Should we do away with life in prison because we could get it wrong?
Yes. Imprisonment can be reversed and there can be compensation. Death is irreversible.
