Personally I think the entire system of dealing with criminals in the US is atrocious and needs work. Corrupt guards, prisoners being treated like animals, overall terrible conditions being based around containing the criminals instead of rehabilitating them. Its all horrid and half the time ends up turning normal people who screwed up into hardened criminals by the time they get out. Entire bloody thing needs a reformation.
As for executions, eh it shouldn't be blanket "If you do this you die" If someone has a chance to be rehabilitated they should be given that chance and death penalties only considered for those with absolutely no chance of ever being rehabilitated, people who have been worked with by psychologists for a large amount of time and no improvement.
