Just my opinion. I think being caged is more punishment than a quick end.

Having 1 guy hang will deter the next 50 guys from doing the same. Whereas 10 years in jail out in 3, will deter the next 5 guys maybe. It's not only about punishing the same guy, it's about everyone single potential mules out there.
I won't try to give an expert opinion on this, seeing as I'm not one, but I'm pretty sure enough statisticians would have done the math in calculating how effective capital punishment is as a deterrent.
