Impel Down is and always has been one of the 3 strongholds of military power under the WG. It's all about maintaining a "virtuous" image to the general populace; the WG doesn't want to depict themselves as merciless slaughterers/criminals much like pirates. Besides, Akainu's decisions are to an extent still mandated by the WG.
