Life in prison is needed to keep the rest of society safe. We can't have murderers walking around amongst us because it is dangerous, so we need to do what is necessary for the good of the people.

There is no need for the death penalty when life in prison is all it takes to keep dangerous people from hurting others. I see no reason for the death penalty other than revenge, which is something we should all try to avoid.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
