No, no. It would be illegal to revive a convict using abilities that are affordable or available to the general public. And it would be a crime to both use those methods and to be revived by them.

I dunno about the worlds you’re playing in, but resurrection magic tends to not be affordable or available to the general public. You don’t get access to it until fifth level spells, which 9th level. That’s around where most official 5e campaigns end, and most of the time you need thousands of gold in diamonds as a consumed material component. That’s nation-level wealth.
