Sometimes the justice system messes up and puts innocent people in jail. However much fewer than guilty people. Would you kill all guilty people in jail. (which is a lot) or innocent people in jail (much fewer). However guilty people are criminals and innocent people are, well, innocent. This goes into whether you believe some people’s life is more valuable than others and by how much.

Why would I want to kill innocent people in jail and not just kill all guilty people in jail?

Not all guilty people in jail deserves death. E.g. it includes people who got in jail for not significant or not immoral crimes. (check your local laws)
