My humble opinion: if someone is so detatched from society's rules and commons as to consider killing a person, worse is multiple times, not depending from the number, they surely need the longest and intensive treatment of rehab.
21 years seems fine to me.
In Midterra's system, completely relying in rehabilitation processes and structures, is even too much of a penalty, since the maximum a judge can sentence here is 10 obligatory years of strict rehabilitation, and surely these type of crimes deserve this.
Then again, in Midterra the psychologists' team that follow the singular individual are central, and have the binding opinion on how the rehab treatments are working or not; the judge can reiterate the sentence, maybe with a tweak or two on it to accomodate the psychologists' report, on and on and on... until something works out.
And if not, too bad, the subject still would have lived surveilled, restricted, and also protected, from others and from themselves.

The death penalty in Grabistonia is only limited to those who a board of 13 psychologists from across the nation vote unanimously, otherwise it is up to the judge for other penalties, the limit being 20 years in prison. We focus the most on rehabilitation over punishment, due to the fact that the few felonies we do have in Grabistonia are a cause of mental trauma or illness. If you take a look, crime is on the downturn in our glorious nation. Other than the council and judging, our system works similar to yours.

The only people that are executed with no trials are pedos. They are despicable and have no right to a fair trial after a child is hurt.
