Perhaps you could add to the poll that "The accused can choose between the death penalty or life in prison (if it's a life sentence)". Since assisted suicide is legal in some countries, why shouldn't a prisoner be able to choose between the death penalty and a life sentence?
One can argue that prisoners can make the choice to end theirs lives on their own; they don't need the State to do that for them. People do commit suicide in jails and prisons all the time.
