Sure. Confiscate everything they have, confiscate everything their family has, put them in prison. There is little difference in deterrence between that and the death penalty.
Whether you care or not is irrelevant when we're talking about a human life.
Sure. Imprisonment is definitionally violence.
Or, uh, if this shit was properly regulated in the first place there wouldn't be as many parasites getting wealthy on it, and there would be no price gouging. Look at the rest of the "developed" world, insulin is basically free there, and 0 executions were needed to get there (unless we're counting the threat of proletariat revolution, but then the US also had that). Those who would still abuse the system could be imprisoned to stop them from doing so.
