In fact, one could argue that there may be more dead guards if we sentence more people to death. Really, what do they have to lose if the prisoner has no hope left in life?

No idea what you are getting at. The poster stated that sentencing a person to life in prison meant they would no longer be allowed to kill...thats simply untrue.
Read this again.

Officer Clutts died in an unprovoked, vicious assault when stabbed approximately 40 times with a homemade knife by inmate Thomas Silverstein. At the time, Silverstein was being supervised by three correctional officers. Silverstein had already murdered three inmates while in federal custody, for which he received three life sentences.

So again...had he been executed, at least 3 people would still be breathing.
Where is the deterrent for him to stop killing others? Hey lets give him one MORE life sentence, that will really deter him from doing anything else....right?
