There's no death penalty in Starfleet, unless the plot demands it.

What about Stafleet Gitmo?
It's called New Zealand.
Leave him in the rainforest.
If Captain Lorca was acting with the mindset of the same man who left Mudd in the Klingon lock up, (you know because Mudd is deserving of Klingon 'justice') then Captain Lorca should have returned him there. Except we all know that Lorca left Mudd because Lorca is a prick. Lorca also did not punish Mudd after the time crystal fiasco because.. Lorca is a prick.
Starfleet sure has some messed up priorities. So, a man with a known criminal past has access to temporal technology, carries crystals that disintegrate people on his person and can hack into the computers of Starfleet's most advanced and important starship with intent to destroy the ship (an intent he already carried out over fifty times) and Starfleet turns him over to an arms dealer to get married. Meanwhile, Michael has been stripped of rank and sentenced to life in prison just because she pinched her captain's neck which incapacitated her for two minutes.
Starfleet seems to have a problem with proportionate punishments.

You remember the theory that Lorca and Mudd as in Cahootz?
And Kirk left Mudd on a planet full of android replicas of his wife.
But, that's different because its funny, right?
That pretty girl android from I Mudd, looks a hell of a lot like a Delanney sister.
Er.. because it just is?
Still a dick move.
Just because the time crystal was "gone" it doesn't mean that Mudd couldn't have still blown up the ship, or crippled the ship, or murdered the crew, because he'd rather take them all with him rather than go to Federation jail.
Mudd can slip the wife.
It's not hard.
Just put another baby inside her and run.
Meanwhile Lorca uses a system restore point from 4 weeks ago, to unwind any and all timebombs and problems Mudd may have left as revenge if he was routed, which could take a day or two where they are very vulnerable.

One can only come up with various conclusions if consistency has anything to do with it. According to Lorca's playbook Klingon torture is so bad he would kill his crew to spare them. According to Lorca's playbook Klingon torture is appropriate for Mudd. Accoriding to Lorca's playbook Klingon torture is acceptable (until orders are received) for Admiral Cornwell to endure. According to Lorca and whomever else, Mudd gets to keep his date with Kirk and his wifey replicas at a future time.
There is no regulation or moral consistency other than Lorca's warped sense of self-survival.

You know that Michael was in charge of Mudd's departure?
Lorca acquiesced to her expertise, because he did not know enough to argue with her process.
Micromanaging a subordinate to bad command style.

DUDE, none of it makes sense from the beginning episodes throughout all of them. It is obviously clear they spent more money on overdone Klingon makeup vs. science advisors.
Everyone keeps saying it will make sense at the end, to have patience.
Personally I think CBS is using and abusing the Star Trek Fans to boost their All Access agenda.
Tyler was the key here.
Tyler wasn't going to do squat unless the pretty girl told him to.
Behind every good man...
Letting Mudd go was a serious mistake.
Lorca should have taken him with(in the first place) when he escaped the prison ship. He could have turned him over to Starfleet, let them figure out what to do with him. I can't imagine why Lorca would leave him there.
But as it stands, Mudd is now an ENORMOUS liability. He knows too much. In fact, Mudd now knows everything he set out to learn + more(Michael Burnham works on Above top secret ship) Mudd Won!
And after seeing just how resourceful this maniac is, and how much of a psychopath he is... I can't even see trying to lock him up. Starfleet has a serious problem on their hands!
HE'S TOO DANGEROUS TO BE LEFT ALIVE!
