There would be less crime with a dominant religion that sacrificed prisoners to a death god.

Solved crime.
That's just death sentence with extra steps...
Actually fewer steps as they wouldn't care about an appeals process.
Does petty crime that warrants the death penalty, and gets confronted while committing said crime:
Whelp, I'm facing the death penalty if I surrender or get subdued, so I might as well fight to the death, take hostages- anything really, as an alternative to certain death.
Leaves multiple casualties while fighting to the death.
Nice.
This assumes that every prisoner has committed a crime and that the police do more to get at the truth than they do to close cases. Looking at history, these are really bad assumptions to make.
Just gonna fling an extra spanner into your already great job of crunching gears; lawful != moral or just
Op discovers fascism
Are you sure about that?
Do we have to wear the dumb clothes, too?
But the crime already happened at that point.
