the idea behind capital punishment is to prevent escalatory feuds (where justice is subjectively satisfied beyond proportion, then reciprocated with the same bias).
in a contemporary context, feuds aren't competently suppressed by the most costly form of incarceration, nor is the punishment itself a public good in the imperial sense.
the SHU is already severe to a prohibitive degree.
