I agree completely.

The death penalty must be for the worst of crimes/criminals and there must be no doubt.

Just put them in the general prison population and let nature take its course. Make sure at least one guard tells one other prisoner what they did.

No it's not. It's never ok, period. Fortunately, I live in an actually civilized country in which it has long been abolished, so the question does not really present itself.

Why?

The death penalty is far more expensive due to the drawn out appeals process than the cost of maintaining them behind bars.

If cost is what you are concerned about.

The cost of keeping these sick fucks in prison until they rot there is a cost I'm happy to pay. No money in the budget? Raise my taxes and earmark the increase for this.

The death penalty is always wrong, in every case full stop.
