I think imprisonment and fates worst than death are pretty much a past thing as if we do that then almost all the SB gang would have to be imprisoned for murder, theft, or something.

Depowering is likely enough torture for him and then let him live out the....20 to 30 years he has left. While I agree that all of the SB crew (aside from rpobably Belle and Henry) would be imprisoned if we were to judge them by real world standards, the show doesn't. If anything it judges them by fairytale standards. Rumple is the villain, maybe not the villain but still a villain, and so still needs to be taken down, otherwise it is not a good story
