I think some old school methods need to be brought out to keep people in line. I'm not saying for every criminal. But for the Ted Bundy types... Why not crucify some people, bring back the guillotine. You don't even have to change the system we use. You set an example, strike fear into people. As bad as getting fried or injected sounds, the idea of getting tied up an and nailed to something sounds much worse. Call it simple and crude but it has its uses.

Vlad the Impaler abolished crime completely from his kingdom by having people impaled when they were found guilty for major crimes. Done too much and it loses its luster but just enough to show them you mean business is quite the deterrent.
