We need to stop this damn epidemic. Maybe if we showed people what happens when you rape an innocent little girl, they would stop. We should bring back public executions, have these bastards gutted in the streets!

Before even thinking of applying such measures, it would be good to look back and see if it actually worked. Harsher punishments such as your barbaric ideas, can result in a few things. First, no rape is ever committed again, which is wonderful but other crimes occur at a higher frequency. It's like when a city steps up their police force to crack down on street crimes. That city does get a lower crime rate but surrounding cities get higher crime rates because criminals migrated. Alternatively, more rapes occur. In the US, some states have the death sentence for homicide and almost all states that do have higher homicide rates than those that don't. The result of killing the criminals is that the punishment isn't looked at as something which involves suffering for a long time. Instead, it's a fairly quick, such as sarin gas, it takes around 1 minute and nerve gases take even less. In other words, the punishment is so brief yet extreme that it may not be viewed as a general deterrent, which is what you want it to be.
I suppose this would be pretty infrequent but nonetheless, if someone committed a rape gets found not guilty due to mental disorder (NCRMD or "insanity defense"), what is their punishment? For example, if someone has a severe psychotic disorder combined with or without certain mind-altering drugs, and are not found guilty, do you gas them? If so, you're holding the person responsible for having a certain disorder, not for the crime committed.
There are different types of rapes so would all of them have the criminals gassed? Such as statutory rape when no force was used.
Lastly, would gassing only apply to child rapists? If so, that makes adult rapists seem not as much of a problem despite the victim suffering quite a lot, perhaps the same as the child victim.
