Why do we shy away from protecting our children?

Noooo! They need to suffer some pain before going.

[sandyRoe]

Society,
a life sentence for them would be a life of pain. They'd be under constant threat, even the screws would hate them, and no hope of ever getting out.
Life in prison isn't a holiday. Even some ordinary prisoners find it so tough they take their own lives.

Good link there AOG. Hopefully the three latest creeps will get similar treatment on a regular basis. I expect their first moan will be about their human rights.

Yeah, right!

attention Geezer

It is looking as though you were right about a draw at the Ashes and I was wrong. A humble apology is on its way (to be retracted if England collapse tomorrow morning).

[B00]

I dont really care about them suffering beforehand either society. I just want them off the planet as quickly as possibly.

[R1Geezer]

jno, that's very gracious of you! I wouldn't have bragged much!

Rojash: No i don't think killing people is civilised but I was really testing the idea that it would also be equally uncivilised to allow the abuse of innocents simple because we have no stomach to deal with the problem. I would settle for life in jail if it meant life but these vermin will one day be out and up to their old tricks with the state powerless to prevent it, is that civilised?

[R1Geezer]

yes spock the governement never have referendums unless they know they will get the "right" answer!

[starone]

Yes, you're right doc. And now that there is DNA to make sure they have the right culprits there is not so much likelihood of killing the wrong perpetrator as there was in the past.

[Barmaid]

Unfortunately, DNA does not prove guilt just presence or a particular activity at the scene.

this type of crime should be dealt differently than even murder,prisoners on the sex offenders list are often segregated in prison for their own protection. and large amounts of money are spent to rehabilitate them, medical castration should be compulsary, for life. and a prison used to house them, no luxuries should be allowed , only basic "care" given,
