I'd agree with death for it...except for one thing. The same argument that makes Death unrealistic for child molestation. If you give the Death penalty for a violent crime against an individual that didn't kill the victim? The person committing the crime has no reason not to kill them and every reason to. They get nothing worse if they get caught after it's a murder......and if not caught? The lack of a witness/victim is probably why.
If they don't have death as a possibility...they have hope. Hope means the victim probably won't be killed purely for covering up the crime....then the killing would make being caught much worse than otherwise, IMO.
(Of course...if they get their prison sentence and then Bubba isn't gentle and kills them the first night? Well....wouldn't bother me one bit. )

I think the penalty for violent rape of any woman should be life in prison,
