It seems to me that you must know what the difference is, and what you are really asking is, does life imprisonment really offer any advantage over being put to death? Is there any reason to live if you will never get out of prison? That is largely a matter of personal judgment. I am sure that there are many people spending their lives in prison who really have no good reason to be alive and who are accomplishing nothing with their lives. However that is not true of everyone. Some people write books, even important books, while in prison. Charles Manson has actually released a record album from jail. And of course, not everyone sentenced to life in prison will actually remain in prison for their whole lives. Some people are paroled or pardoned.
Prisoners can also perform acts of kindness or acts of education for other prisoners, if they are not in solitary confinement. Creative people find something good to do, in almost any circumstance. Less creative people don't.
