That's quite a twist - life imprisonment for illegal activities is condoning those activities. If capital punishment is the only way to demonstrate that we take murder seriously, I suppose we should return to various corporal punishments for other offenses, such as cutting off hands and feet for stealing and running from the police. Putting those people in prison for a few years just trivializes the serious nature of their offenses.
