Justice there involves cutting off the right hand for theft, and the chopping gets more severe as the crime increases. When it becomes common practice to sentence murderers to death, one considering this offense might be persuaded otherwise. When justice strikes, violent crimes will be deterred by imposing the ultimate penalty - death. I think we, especially in the United States, have an extremely humane way of enforcing capital punishment. Not that death of any kind would necessarily be enjoyable, but the pain endured is minimal in comparison to the victim's agony.
Lethal injection is far less painful than a pickax.
