and yet, how is death sentence any worse than life in prison? if it were me, I'd just want a quick exit rather than rotting in a cage for decades

You can always become a matematician in prison and solve one of millennium problems. That's one thing that you can't do if you're dead.

You can certainly do mathematics and publish your work while in prison.

Because the criminal justice system gets things wrong, and we can't undo the death penalty.

That's a choice you might make for yourself, rather than a choice the state makes for you. There's a big difference.
