Rapist for example shouldn't get the death penalty, they should get in jail forever and not like german jails, more like north korean jails or something.
Murders should get the death penalty but not just a shock. They should pay more for their actions tbh.

Pay more? Isn't dying enough? Or what do you want to do, torture them before killing them? That's revenge not justice.

death penalty is the only way to prevent people from committing a crime.

Don't think it has much effect in preventing crimes actually. May depend on the type of crime though.

But at the same time, I do not understand how it is possible to give such a huge amount of money for the maintenance of a person in prison until the end of his days, and this can be dozens of years. It is difficult to say how best to proceed. I would offer hard work in exchange for the death penalty until the end of the days of the guilty. Let him pay his debt to society, work, than he will just sit for many years.

If due process is followed and people allowed to pursue all legal actions before being executed, executing criminals costs more than keeping them in jail until they die. If they can't do that, more innocent people would be executed by the state. And that already happens often enough.
