How is death a punishment? Life in prison with no chance of parole, now that's punishment.

death is a punishment for those who have no regard for life because they normally value their own enough to not want to die and death is much more dissuading than cable tv, free meals, and doing nothing for the rest of your life. some people actually commit crimes like murder just for a chance to get a life sentence. how messed up is that?
