Imprisonment, assimilation, and execution are the main three punishments for the pirates. There's extremely little tolerance for those who continue to choose piracy/banditry around the area before and since the Calamity. The pirates were the main law, above the Barracudas before, but their position has lowered drastically since the Calamity, with the complete destruction of their ships and Hyllfyr gone missing (the leader of the Bloody Executioners). Most of them are pirates in name alone, for now.
Though the Bloody Executioners, the Sanguine Sirens, the Kraken's arms, and various minor pirate groups still live, there's been a lot of damage done to them. They live because it is necessary. They are outlaws, but have enough sway within the community where it can be disastrous to have them against the Maelstrom. So as long as they follow Limsa Lominsa's laws, they are allowed to live. Most of the crews that have stopped their 'privateering' are out in the Lower/Middle/Western areas of La Noscea tending fields. The big three pirate groups are in Limsa Lominsa due to their reputation. They're above the law in a sense, but not fully.
It's been known that some of the Knights of the Barracuda have infiltrated the ranks of each group, but their alliance has been shaky at best. Some joined the pirate group officially and act as double agents, while others are completely loyal to the Knights.
Mortality rate is largely unknown for anyone really outside of old age. Eorzean's in general are a brutal people in a brutal time. It's difficult to say the age rate of anyone that lives outside of the City States, let alone the pirates themselves. The Maelstrom were pirates, once, so I assume it depends on their loyalties, the consequences of their actions, and how often they get caught.
