The death penalty is killing. All killing is wrong, therefore the death penalty is wrong. According to Victor Hugo: [link] «Que dit la loi? Tu ne tueras pas! Comment le dit-elle? En tuant!» ("What says the law? You will not kill! How does it say it? By killing!")

What says the law? You will not imprison others! How does it say it? By imprisoning others!
I doubt anyone would seriously suggest that either a) prisons are always a bad idea or b) kidnapping people and locking them up is an acceptable thing for civilians to engage in.
