What’s the point? Aren’t these demons taken care of by the prison population?! I would rather pay and have them tormented every day on this earth, then they can go and be tormented for eternity.
Why do you love evil?
The point is both justice and protecting society.
You do realize that God Himself established the death penalty for certain crimes.
The death penalty, when executed properly, is no sin. It does not fall into the category of murder that breaks one of the Ten commandments. Nor are soldiers guilty of murder when enemy combatants are killed.
"Taken care of" meaning used by, and with treatment for STI's as well as transurgery being paid for by taxes, and with some claiming to be female... all of which unfairly burdens supporting society, versus voluntary rehab by some.
The absence of a actual prison system is very conspicuous under Moses, since thieves were made to repay their victims, even via slavery, while capital crimes were numerous, yet the execution of such seems to have been rare. Deterrent effect.
