Certainly not.
Why you may ask? Well here is my Opinion about it.
Even used against the worst of the worst,its a way of Revenge, which no constitutional State should consider.
As a way to scare people from commiting crime?
There are no offical Statistics that proof,that an active Death Penalty rule lowered the overall crimerrate.
But there are report of Country having a minor to mayor less crimerate after suspending the Death Penalty.
It also offers not a single way for Criminals to actually improve and not commit any other Crimes.
Also lets take a look at some current Stuff. Turkey.
They want to reintroduce the Death Penalty. Erdogan is quite dictatorial. I´m pretty sure he would have no worries about changing the Death Penalty,so that even minor Thieves have to face it.Which ultimatley would lead into the people getting completley scared.
Let´s also dont forget failed Death penaltys leading into hours of pain for the Criminal.
Or the poor people getting killed due to miscarriage of justice.
That´s just my opinion.
edit* the thing that normally happens is finding a suitable vein, which has taken hours, I don't think there has been any 'hours of pain', unless you mean emotional pain
