If prisoners are able to lead criminal organizations whillst inside, that's very obviously a rather trivial-to-fix bug in the design of the jail, not a reason to murder someone for vengeance.

We have more than adequate technology to keep such hopeless cases from harming themselves or others.

It's not trivial to fix without introducing mechanisms that are worse than death, such as isolated confinement and other forms of torture.

I believe that this is a false dichotomy that you present; I can think of several different solutions to this problem in seconds, none of which are what you describe.
