Neither can he if he is locked up for life. I don't see how this makes it good.

Tell that to guards who are constantly under threat of attack from inmates who are in on consecutive life sentences. If there is nothing they fear that makes them dangerous to everyone around them as long as they live.

it seems disturbingly irrational for us as a society to methodically kill unarmed, incarcerated human beings.

Talk to prison guards. They will tell you that inmates are rarely completely unarmed. No matter how much security you put in a prison the prisoners will ALWAYS endanger the guards. They ALWAYS have the opportunity to kill again and they almost always try, for the rest of their lives.
