Trevor Macdonald Life Behind Bars

[murraymints]

anyone watching ?......chilling stuff.

[ladybirder]

Yes, gripping. Rather him than me:-(

It's v interesting - the black guy who had killed 2 people when he was 13 - what a waste of a life.

[vakayu]

Fascinating stuff,goodness knows how they are still sane!!!

[murraymints]

wonder if there are any abers there?..well they do appear to have the mod cons !

[ladybirder]

Eeek murray. Thinking about it you could be right. There's a fair few in here that fit the bill. Better watch it.

[murraymints]

nobody has seen markrae for a bit !

[vakayu]

I suppose when you think about it,it's possible or would they censor that,as they govern everything elso they do?

[ladybirder]

LOL. Do you think the guy that killed the two old ladies when he was 13 years old, 25(?) years ago, should die?

[murraymints]

he seems contrite and sensible but...wouldn't want him next door !

[ladybirder]

Me neither.
It's the 13 years old bit I can't get past.

[vakayu]

Juat a moment of stupid madness at an early age and all for $5.

[murraymints]

we have younger killers here..Jamie bulger case for example..

[vakayu]

I am not very up on American prisons I'm relieved to say,do lifers ever get released over there,like here sentenced for life sometimes means 15 years or so?

[murraymints]

don't know.maybe one of our US abers Will know ?

[murraymints]

feel quite drained after that !

[vakayu]

It certainly makes one feel grateful for our freedom as in some of those cases it was very easily lost forever.

The barber, a murderer, was chilling. Asked whether gang members in prisons were trouble, he coldly replied that , in the barber's shop, a man had scissors.....(so there wouldn't be) Only a psychopath could answer with the cold eyes that he did, and only a murderer would think that way.

[smurfchops]

We didn't really get to the bottom of what the barber did -kidnap he said - it must have been more than that to have been in prison for so long.

[joeluke]

They are all in there for committing the most serious crimes - you don't end up on death row for stealing an old ladys purse.

Why should anyone feel an ounce of sympathy for them? Did they show any for their victims?

They may be on death row but it looked like they aren't short of mod cons in their cells - TV's, video games, music etc

[chrissa1]

I don't agree with the Death Penalty and have always thought that Life should mean Life. However, the guy who killed at the age of fifteen, who has obviously turned into a "decent" man, should be shown some clemency eventually.
