Frankly, two of the reasons that I am against the death penalty a
1) you can't unring that bell if the guy is later exonerated, and 2)
spending one's life in a cage is far more cruel and inhuman than the
Constitutional framers could have actually had in mind, IMHO.
Generally speaking (and oddly speaking), murderers are the "upper
class" of the prison population. Not so in the case of a child
killer/rapist. They are the *absolute* bottom of the prison food
chain. I worked for PDs back in the Bad Old Days of my early career as
a paralegal and can assure you that, once this bozo is in prison, his
hell on earth has just begun IF he lives out whatever passes for a
normal prison life span. The other inmates, the guards, the
administration - they all absolutely hate the guy.
AFAICS, there is no deterrent to animals such as this. They're all
about poor impulse control and twisted desires. One of the things I
learned with the PDs in doing client intake interviews is: these
people really *are* twisted. They do not think like you and me. They
feel no remose and, AFAICS, their only real emotion is fear of getting
caught. I'm willing to bet this bozo isn't suffering one pang of
regret over the child, just a pang of regret of having been caught.
OB Food: The starch in a prison diet will make him look like Ted
Kennedy in short order.
