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.

You didn't actually answer my question but rather gave me reasons why you prefer one over the other.

But in response to protecting society from the dangerous people, dead men don't hurt anyone but living ones can escape and kill again. They also hurt other inmates when they are incarcerated.
