Absolute justice requires that the scales balance.
†. Ex 21:24-25 . . Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
†. Lev 24:19-20 . . If anyone injures his neighbor, whatever he has done must be done to him: fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. As he has injured the other, so he is to be injured.
I'm very curious as to how God is going to even the score with serial killers like Ted Bundy, the Zodiac killer, the Boston Strangler, Jack the Ripper, and highway prostitute Aileen Wuornos.
And then there's cold-blooded mass murderers like the ones who flew airliners into the twin towers of the World Trade Center, and others who kill volumes of people at random with suicide bombs and whatnot; and also the instigators of political purging and genocide.
Those people have to pay; but I can only guess as to how God might go about that. I mean, giving somebody consecutive life sentences in hell would be a joke since they're not coming out of there anyway regardless of their crimes. Capital punishment? Well how might God go about executing those people for each of their murders when according to Dan 12:2, and John 5:29 there is but one resurrection allotted per person?
There's a sector in hell called tartaros (2Pet 2:4) which is defined as the deepest abyss of hades. But hades isn't the final hell. In point of fact hades and its prisoners are scheduled to be transferred to the reservoir of liquefied flame depicted at Rev 20:10-15. So tartaros won't do for the kind of justice we're talking about.
Although there is but one resurrection allotted per person, there is apparently no limit to the number of resuscitations that people might undergo. Take for example the people that Christ restored to life, including his friend Lazarus. Technically, those incidents weren't resurrections because according to 1Cor 15:23 and Col 1:18; Christ's resurrection was the first to take place.
So then, a possible scenario, and one that appeals to my sense of justice, is that serial killers and mass murderers will be raised from the dead at "the resurrection" and forced to undergo a cycle of deaths and resuscitations as many times as it takes to even the score. And since the law of God requires that they be terminated in the very same manner as they terminated their victims; the day in court for mass murderers and serial killers will quite possibly be a very grisly scene to behold; and noisy too with all their shrieks, and screams, and weeping, and yelping, and bellowing like wounded dogs.

Pop Clock Update : 789 days have elapsed since beginning the topic on Mar 21, 2011.
Staying with the original factor of 2,669 responsible Americans transferring to perdition per each 24-hour calendar day, suggests that 2,105,841 U.S. residents have passed through the gates of hades just since beginning the topic.
The world-wide total, based upon the original factor of 59,273 condemned souls per 24-hour calendar day, suggests 46,766,397 total arrivals in perdition since beginning the topic . . . and the clock is still ticking.
