It is cruel and absolutely horrific to keep a human being in isolation. It is against our nature in every way and people literally lose their minds. This is a fate worse than death. So what do you do when an inmate is a clear danger to other inmates? When an inmate has clearly shown that he will murder those who are imprisoned with him? You have two choices. Isolation or death. There are other reasons for the death "penalty", but I certainly agree that it should never be used as a penalty, but as a measure of last resort.
