All that is needed is a loose mask with a high flow of nitrogen. I am not a proponent of capital punishment: sure, there are heinous crimes, for these "lock em up and throw away the key" is a suitable protection for society.
Shouldn't they be fed?
Why? Wouldn't it be more humane, more logical, and cheaper, to offer convicts a choice of selfadministered euthanasia at any point in their incarceration? Nitrogen hypoxia would be ideal: simple to use, nontoxic and readily available material....but the lack of ritual would make it unacceptable to politicians, who like a bit of theater.
I actually can give you a goal that has no exceptions. The terminal goal of all sentient entities is death. Ta-da.
Do you think death is better/preferred than life?
How do you define goal and consciousness?
Don't you think locking people up without feeding them would make them starved to death?Of course, they also need sanitary and stuffs to stay alive longer.
So it seems entirely reasonable that all prisoners should pay for their food.
The object of capital punishment is to terminate the life of a criminal. The world would be a happier place if all criminals were given the option of terminating their own lives.

Democracy is whatever the current government (or its opposing revolutionary group) defines as democracy.
a system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives.
Quotea system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives.It relies on wisdom of the crowd and law of large numbers.
There are some proposed methods to improve the results, like this one.https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/hive-mind-new-approach-could-improve-on-crowd-wisdom/
So it depends on who is eligible to vote, who is an eligible candidate, and what anyone is allowed to vote on. And these are determined by the government itself.The election of George W Bush, Joe Biden, and Donald Trump, rather questions your definition of "wisdom"
