Some people find life behind bars without parole a fate worse than death. Just a different angle to consider regarding what is the worse punishment. Putting someone in a suicide proofed room, to live most of the remainder of their life in isolation, save for a few trips out in the rest of the correctional facility...that could be cruel and unusual too. I think life without parole is a better deterent, especially for narcissistic people who murder from a sense of entitlement in cold blood. Taking control of their life away could be worse than granting them death.
