And to apply Lewis-style pseudo-logic to it... if the devil were real and these people had sold their soul to him, then they were already guaranteed a punishment far greater than anything we could mete out on Earth.
That could be twisted into an argument for the death penalty, thus: If these people will receive their real punishment after their death, then the quicker they become dead the better.
