Make their life horrible, drag it out, and feed them bread and water until they die.
Good answer. Add to it the chances of the accused being innocent and evidence proving it years later, the quality of the public defenders and the cost of going through numerous appeals which seem to have no chance what ever the evidence is in some States like Texas.

You can't bring an innocent executed man back to life. Or doesn't that matter?
