It seems like cryonics would count as pr(it works) * life imprisonment and pr(it doesn't) * death penalty. That is, it's ambiguous, and cheaper. I expect that the 'cheaper' part will convince taxpayers to support it, convince prison lobbies to fight it, and the ambiguity will let all the politicians support it.
