This is no different than saying "listen children, its wrong to rob people from their freedom so sometimes when people do it we rob them from their freedom".
Whatever reasoning you have for imprisoning people it still is taking away their freedom, no matter how noble your motives for doing so are.

True, but you have a very strong argument for taking away their freedom: The safety of people/society. However, assuming a 0% probability of the inmate escaping from prison, that argument doesn't hold for death sentences.

Im aware of the differances of being dead and being in prison, I just reacted to what I saw as a weird statement based on weird logic. I fully understand how someone can be in favor of sending people to prison for kidnapping while still being opposed to the death penalty for murder.
