Statically speaking there is a change You(in general - maybe you don't drive) could kill a person tomorrow with your car, something weird on the streets could distract your eyes for a second.
Would it be fair to be tortured? The punishment needs to be proportional with the crime but you probably don't want to transform good people that made a mistake into bad/destroyed people so when then sentence is over instead of releasing that good person you release a new criminal you created and trained in your prison.
But you still taken a live and hurt a family emotionally and financially. I interpreted the comment I replied that since your torture is less then the getting killed is justified. I mean me getting killed is the same if it was premeditated or not, if it was an honest accident or a stupidity/ignorance etc.
