Jail is worse then death anyways. You can't leave whenever you like, if you're jailed for life you will never have your freedom back again, you won't be able to see family members freely like you may have once upon a time. To be honest, I think the psychological ramifications of life in prison far outweigh the death penalty.
Also if I was running the prisons then I would make sure that murders etc wouldn't be allowed out if they are given life.
I believe the death penalty is amoral, wrong and backwards. :/

The thing is with the death penalty being an option for punishment, it should help reduce such awful crime out of fear..
