I believe the death penalty is a significant deterrent to violent crime. Life without parole lacks the benefits to society that the death penalty provides. IMO.

Also found this which supports the author's "odds are..." statement.

"Of the roughly 52,000 state prison inmates serving time for murder in 1984, an estimated 810 had previously been convicted of murder and had killed 821 persons following their previous murder convictions. Executing each of these inmates would have saved 821 lives." (41, 1 Stanford Law Review, 11/88, pg. 153)
