it's called an analogy, and one that was brought on by your trite suggestion that having to "think about it" was just punishment for first-degree murder.
if you want to suggest that taking away freedom is worse than death, then surely we can go further. how bout torture? how bout withholding food and water and medical treatment? yeah, let's really make them suffer!
the point being: let's be careful before we start rationalising removal of freedom on the basis that it's somehow worse than the DP.
edit: added eyeroll to accentuate the sarcasm
