Well, end of a meaningful existence is far from being the same as a less meaningful existence only being possible, which i would not argue against. Thus, life sentence is/can be way, way better than execution, because execution per definition allows no (meaningful) existence at all, while a life sentence does to a certain degree, contradicting your original claim.
