Timber: I think the reason why the people that are against the death penalty sometimes say that imprisonment is the worst punishment is because they think that's the only way they can convince the pro-death penatly people. Pro-death penalty people often see the death penalty as something which will punish the prisoner the most, so the other side try to satisfy them by saying that being in a cell for the rest of your life is worse - since the others think they deserve the worst punishment possible.

).
