Sounds good enough, I just can't see the point for more death when it is unnecessary, and by keeping them somewhere, you stop them from killing, an they aren't killed, so no more death from them, or of them.
Less death is a good thing, right?

This thread appears to be getting closer and closer to being LOCKED DOWN.
I took a little time to research the cases of "botched executions" Dramnek provided. Due to time limitations, I was only able to find information on the victims of two of the murderers, but I have requested information concerning the rest of the victims and will Post it when received. Quote:

[/QUOTE]IIRC he was not charged with murder. It was either attempted murder or assault. Also, I can't remember if he was released or if he escaped. The reason he was able to terrorize young women for sooo long is because, in addition to being highly charismatic, he was extremely intelligent. He committed his murders in several different states, and in different counties within the same state. This prevented police from realizing that one person was responsible for all the deaths. Each incident appeared to be isolated. Remember, this was back in the 1970's. Desktop computers were unheard of at that time, so it was logistically impossible for authorities from different jurisdictions to share information. Ted Bundy was - in part - responsible for the federal gov't providing funds to establish the various National Databases we take for granted today. Also, the figure of "over 100 victims" may or may not be true. Ted Bundy never told exaclty HOW many murders he committed. But he did tell the Florida police that the figure was in the TRIPLE digits. How much of that is fact and how much of that is bravado is unknown. It IS known that he killed at least several dozen. Those are just the victims that were found. One more thought on this subject. There is NO such thing as Life Without Parole. Thirty to forty years down the road, the sensationalism of the crimes will be forgotten; emotions will not be nearly as high, and the murderer WILL eventually stand a decent chance of getting out of jail. I saw a show detailing the 1920's case of Loeb/Leopold. These two wealthy teenagers went cruising around Chicago one afternoon for the sole purpose of finding a young child to kill - just for the fun of it. It was considered the Crime of the Century at the time. They both received life sentences for the crime and one of them (Loeb?) died while in prison. The other, however, survived and was eventually released over 30 years later. AND, there is ALWAYS the possibility of escape.

I, like most other people, believe in rehab when possible. In some cases it's very clear that it works, in some cases it's very clear that it doesn't work. When it doesn't work, it's time for the punishment. I personally don't think murderers should get any benefits - in fact, I think solitary confinement for life is a fantastic idea for these kinds of people. And if you think that I wanted the b*stard who murdered my wife to have a long hug....

I don't need to spend a few days in prison, the one I toured was quite enough, and the two days in the brig I spen while in the Navy was enough...but on the whole it could have been worse...[/QUOTE]Stop being pedantic - you obviously see my point. I'm certain there are a lot fewer beatings on aircraft carriers than in prisons - the same is probably true with cases of rape. So to compare the military to prison is laughable.
