@Te I answered your question. In a civilised society the punishment decided after a guilty verdict is Deprivation of Liberty. To act as you suggest follows the same reasoning as that used by those such as Lee Rigby’s killer to justify such barbaric acts.
I also gave you practical and pragmatic reasons for vaccinating prisoners, as did @BenCotto.

Just to play devil’s advocate for a moment, Lee Rigby was a state sponsored killer so I supposed a state sponsored killing of his killer might be seen as justified, providing it was by firing squad perhaps?
Probably not firing squad no

What on earth has Lee Rigby's occupation got to do with whether killing is right or wrong? If killing is seen to be wrong - which it is in British law - then the state killing someone condones killing doesn't it. That just goes back to the 'eye for an eye' bit in the bible -what next? Rob a robber? Defraud a fraudster?
Surely if the act is wrong, then the state has to be above the act doesn't it? Not condone it by doing it 'legally' - or where does that lead - that the state can kill people it doesn't like? Read the Old Bailey trial transcripts archive and see how the death penalty then becomes just another punishment.
Is this the Covid thread!!, seems to have gone off on a tangent. When I was growing up, there was capital Punishment, had an interesting chat with my late Mum, she said she would dozens of guilty people went free than one inocent person was put to death
Back to Covid, the numbers are falling nationally at last, we had a good drop in the numbers locally BUT it's UP again the last 2 days. When will people realise we have to be vigilant, a good while longer yet.
A lot of people in prison, unavoidably unable to social distance effectively, of course they should be vaccinated. We don't want to have these petri dishes of virus all over the country, even if you don't care about the inmates or the staff who work with them.

Well for me those that killed Lee Rigby should of received the death penalty! It has nothing to do with him being a soldier, but saying that all terrorist that openly kill another human being and glorify in the fact don’t deserve a life of their own whether it be in the name of any so called religion or not, those that commit despicable acts as such deserve no place in this world, Amen
