Melusine, did you see my "Two Wrongs Don't Make A Right" rebuttal?

If you did, and you still feel it is wrong for the state to kill, what makes it right for the state to imprison? Both are "wrongs" for us to do to each other. And, as you mention, imprisonment may be a worse wrong. So, for you, what makes one allowable and the other not allowable?
