Capital punishment (when enacted swiftly) is much more effective at deterring crime (there are many studies on this). Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your point of view), more prisoners on death row die of old age every year than from lethal injection. Thus, it probably has little effect.

Is jail for life more effective than capital punishment?

Life in prison is not necessarily more effective than capital punishment. A murderer who is dead can never kill again. A person who is serving life in prison can still kill inmates and prison guards, although the chances of that are really small. Life in prison is more effective in the way that it costs less money to keep someone in jail than it does to have them executed. A person who is serving life in prison and later found out to be innocent can be freed and not be in prison anymore.
