Deterrence is a purpose.

Rehabilitation is a purpose.

Preventing recidivism is a purpose.

It would also be more effective than any fine, civil judgment, or censure.

It is not the same thing. Deterrence refers to the social goal of preventing other would be offenders. Preventing rescidvism is aimed at preventing the same offender. You would deter everyone with a harsh punishment that suggests that others would not do the behavior for fear of the harshness of the penalty. You would prevent the same offender from committing the same crime by isolating the most effective punishment for that particular person or institution.
Here, the Death Penalty would serve both of those goals as other programs would never mess with such a scheme and the culture of reverence would get smashed. Always enjoy debating you, WDE.
