That's not... I'm looking for a way to say this without being rude, but that's really kind of over-stretching the definition of the word. Your definition can fit really every fair punishment accorded to every criminal, ever. For instance, assuming a guy gets life in prison, and that's what the family (who in this instance is anti-death penalty) thinks is fair, then that counts as retribution.
