A consideration and a question for you
1. Does the death sentence act as deterrent to potential offenders ? (And yes obviously it does at an individual)
2. If it doesn’t then what would the reintroduction of the death penalty solve? Is it justice ? Or, is it as i believe more about vengeance

It would potentially act as a deterrent for people with certain psychologies but even if it doesn't you are then not forcing people to babysit a monster for the rest of their life.
It wouldn't be vengeance unless the crime was against me personally so I'm not sure how that is relevant. It would be justice yes, you can cite different conceptions of justice and this would be one of them. Also certain types of reoffending criminals are rarely reformable, this is information that can be considered during sentencing.
