That's a debatable point; there has to be some way for a civilized society to protect itself from people who refuse to be civil. Murder and rape are the ultimate acts of incivility, and deserve the ultimate punishment.
Other societies in earlier ages have used banishment as the "ultimate penalty", but the world today is too crowded for us to throw our wrongdoers into someone elses' society, for them to clean up our messes.
In America, the debate is between those who favor capital punishment and those who favor "life without parole" sentences for violent and dangerous criminals. The ultimate flaw with the concept of "life without parole" is that criminals escape, or are accidentally released, and that violent and dangerous people will be freed to once again commit unspeakable crimes.
And finally, many lawyers who oppose executing violent criminals are perfectly willing to admit that "life without parole" sentences are simply the first step in the chain toward eliminating "life" prison terms entirely.
