Prison is utter hell, and being inside for decades watching the world go by without you, knowing you will never be a part of it again, suffering the long lonely nights, the horrible people that surround you, this is PUNISHMENT.
Then add in that it costs more to execute people, innocent people die, its a terribly racist system, AND that its barbaric and has no place in the modern world and you have no reason to justify this horrible system that outside the US is only done by backwards nations.
Its not the place of governments to murder its own people, let them rot in prison and truly suffer, thats what they deserve.

I think you are figuratively putting yourself in the prisoners shoes and thus would be doing hard time. Some prisoners have spent a lifetime of revolving doors in custody since reformatory school and the only place they feel comfortable and can function is in jail. I don't think these people would be asking for assisted suicide.
Yeah, I'm still against capital punishment as well as most people who have a brain and use it.
