Do you even grasp the magnitude of what you are proposing? What an absolute ridiculous display of naivete.

Do you have any idea how many prisoners are doing life on this planet. You are not gonna run out anytime soon. Ro answer 4x4, no they are not equal. That person has taken a life for no good reason other then to satisfy their need for revenge or to satisfy their anger or what have you. IMO that person forfeited their life.
