They kept her in solitary confinement for 32 years after she was already sentenced to death, then fucked up the lethal injection twice after she requested firing squad because she knew she had small veins. So she commits torture and murder, and the response is torture and murder?

That's also ignoring the fact that lethal injection is incredibly painful and is essentially torture as well, they just paralyze the person first so they can't show the distress before they die.

I think society needs to try something else before giving more people the death sentence. The American prison system is fucked up as all hell for one thing. The focus should be rehab, not punishment. Prison it's not great around the world, but for profit prisons is especially fucked up.

But before prison, a lot of people that commit these crimes may not have if they had access to stable housing, parents that didn't abuse them, better education, more social programs, better police, etc.

Like even in this case, the girl was mentally disabled because her mother smoke and drank during the pregnancy, and was abused physically and sexually her entire childhood. Maybe she wouldn't have committed the murder if she wasn't impaired from birth, or removed from a bad mother and looked after properly, or had mental health support. Or maybe the mother wouldn't have been so bad if she had the support she needed to not be an alcoholic.

Continuing with the death sentence is saying "welp, we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas".

I am against capital punishment in all forms. There are more humane ways to deal with people like this that removes them from society at large without murdering them.

I recognize there are people who have untreatable mental disorders that lead to things like psychopathy or the like but even then I feel we should work as a society to be above taking the lives of people as if that somehow rectifies the situation where they did the same to someone else.

Luckily that is only your barbaric personal opinion and not the common view of civilized countries.

Retribution is not the same as justice

Just saying you right.... have you looked into the grift that is our private prision system.

The average cost of a U.S. execution isn't a single figure but stems from vastly more expensive capital cases, costing millions more than life imprisonment, with studies showing death penalty cases adding $1 million to $3 million in extra costs per case due to lengthy legal processes, expert witnesses, extensive appeals, and heightened security, not just the execution itself. While the direct execution supplies are relatively cheap (e.g., under $100 for lethal injection drugs), the legal and administrative burdens, including solitary confinement and extra staff, make each death penalty case significantly more expensive, sometimes up to ten times more than non-death penalty cases. https://legalknowledgebase.com/what-is-the-average-cost-of-a-us-execution

We pay for this shit.
