Yes, because we all know that it's just as easy to house, feed, and guard someone 24/7 for decades as it is to stick a needle in their arm.
I am for the death penalty. If you commit 1st degree murder or rape, you deserve to die. It is the only punishment that has a 100% chance of preventing the person from commiting the same crime again, with life imprisonment the criminal still has the chance(however slim) of escaping or making a successful appeal.
As for their not being a death penalty because it's immoral, well, morals are based on religion and the First Ammendment takes care of that. As for just not liking the death penalty, well it's an opinion and just as valid as my opinion, but I hope the government follows mine.
