At any rate....the death penalty is a good idea in some cases and not-so-much in others.

Yeah, well, threads evolve.
If you read it, there was an idea that treating them more harshly may reduce the likelihood of repeat offenders (Singapore example). Thats how the two concepts were connected. Length of term/capital punishment was, I assume, included in the 'harsh penalty' category. But since I didn't put forward that idea, I'm not sure if that was how it was intended.
