Neither. Nobody has any right to take a life unless it's direct and immediate defense of another life.
Life in prison is for jailable offenses? Well, what's a jailable offense? What's the cost/benefit of time v crime? If you want to get into this sham
of a "justice" system we can in another thread. Lets not derail this one.
Regardless of my feelings about crime and punishment your point isnt relevant here since executing or imprisoning a murderer, for example, for life
may prevent that specific murderer from murdering again (though prison security or lack of would change that) this is no way would prevent murder from
happening.
Perhaps if we abolished departments with such clout and power to execute a massive scale violation such as this we could reasonably believe no other
massive violation such as this would ever occur again but in a world where tyranny is so beloved I have my doubts of much support existing for the
eradication of criminal tyrant organizations who manipulate general populations for grins and giggles.
