I disagree. With treason you’ve gotta go for the kill for a few reasons. Firstly there’s the obvious violent prison break followed by an armed coup. Second it splinters their followers; without a strong leader the group is far more likely to turn on itself. Thirdly it reinforces the idea that coup’s are the most dangerous move you can make and no matter who you are there’s an absolute and final punishment.
Look where the US is now after not killing the traitors. Normally I’m staunchly against the death penalty but in instances like this it’s truly for the greater good.
