Personally I'd rather be done in than spend the rest of my life in jail. I've always felt that way.
The death penalty is difficult. My opinion of it has changed somewhat recently. I was pro, but now I'm leaning a bit towards against. It's not a simple matter of kill or not kill, there are many more factors involved. I'm pretty ignorant of it all, but I'm aware it's not an issue in isolation.
Of course I'd prefer a society where there is no death penalty, and no knock-on bad effects, ideally with the inmates doing something productive instead while in jail.
