All humans - without exception - have worth. I'm not content to have our system chew up a human and spit him out so that he can 'serve as a warning to others'. It's would be act of cowardice to sacrifice a human just so others might fear the law and you might gain some small bit of security. The better solution is to treat everyone with humanity - giving people the benefit of the doubt - so that those who have chosen wrong can sincerely regret it and return to civilization. Don't you wish others would give you the benefit of the doubt when you've screwed up?
I do not speak to offend (and apologize if my diplomacy skills are insufficient to have prevented that), but to see if I might point out that perhaps your plan isn't the best and to honestly ask you re-assess how you would treat other humans.
