Note that from the point of view of deterrent it doesn't mater whether cryonics works or not as long as the criminal believes it will.

True... so anyone who really wants to increase the effectiveness of the death penalty as a deterrent should be promoting atheism. :)

Of course, it's even more effective to promote the belief that sinners will spend eternity burning in hell.

Especially if one also promotes that those executed are instantly sinners.
