Every non-target destroyed in an assault is collateral. It amounts to very little in most cases, and in even more it is well worth the price of neutralizing the target warranting the force used.
The question regarding resources on the 'death penalty' is not whether there will be collateral. It is whether the targets are worth neutralizing.
I'm rather partial to the idea of locking the 'penalized' into a cell which they cannot get out of, and being left there to die. Costs less than a bullet, puts no wear on a fine axe. Sometimes too slow when one has many to 'penalize'.

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
