Not unless you've killed someone in the process. Although the application of the death penalty (and other sentencing provisions) differs from state to state, the death penalty is allowed only in response to a very limited range of very serious crimes. The death penalty is most commonly applied in murder cases, and even then generally requires special circumstances. In fact, the United States Supreme Court recently ruled that the death penalty could not be imposed as a penalty even for the rape of a child.

No.

At least not in civilized countries. Perhaps in areas where people's rights are suppressed or simply non-existent.
