I've read your position in several other death penalty threads. Correct me if I'm misreading it, but I believe your premise is that since there is no "just compensation" for being incarcerated, the death penalty superior?

First, there are few, if any, "just compensations." So, should any attempt at compensation or alternatives be dismissed? That makes less sense than the belief that being alive is not better than being wrongly executed.

Second, in the US legal system, economic compensation or consideration is pretty much all the system can award or enforce. While you may find that less than fulfilling, it's what we do.
