    Killing even a killer when there’s an option to lock them up instead is unnecessary.

    So if keeping them locked up is not an option, say in a emergency situation or a failed state, you’d be okay with it?

      Emergency situation like fires or bad weather? No, a prison should have robust protocols for handling emergencies.

      Failed state? Still makes no sense to me as a situation for the death penalty. A state is dying and what, with their last gasps of power they’re going to kill all their violent prisoners? Instead of letting whatever leadership that takes over after them take care of the prisoners? That sounds like something a horrible autocrat would do.
