Deterence won't work, clearly, with suicide bombers. The punitive measure should, presumably, be unpalatable to them. Execution isn't, therefore keeping them incarcerated - forcing them to benefit our society by doing menial tasks - is a better option. I don't care if it costs the state more.
Denying them rudimentary means with which to worship and not bowing to their specific dietry needs for the remainder of their lives would be a far greater punishment.
I fail to see how I'd feel better if a failed suicide bomber was executed.
