In most US states, offenses are mainly punishable by incarceration or fines; not all states even still have a death penalty, and in those that do it's restricted to use in murder cases... and not all kinds of murder, and not even in every case of those kinds of murder. Treason is also still technically subject to capital punishment at the federal level, but only about three dozen people have been formally charged with treason in all of US history.
