Andy. Your system by experts on judging, sentencing and rehabilitation is as pathetic as ours....you must see that daily.

[andy-hughes]

Gness - It's not 'my' system - it's the system operated by successive governments of the country I live in. I have no say in its operations, and nothing approaching ownership, so by no stretch of the imagination is it 'mine'.

I do of course have opinions on the ways it operates, on this occasion I think it is being inhumane.

[gness]

I meant your country as I meant mine. You know that.

[ladybirder]

AAAh, me @ 20.06 should read - I would NOT have a caged bird.

[andy-hughes]

Gness, I didn't know that, your careless use of language is your problem.

[Mozz71]

Andy, in response to your previous post, I'm not sure anybody has stated that he should be released. It seems probable that he's been psychologically tested and deemed unfit to rejoin humanity. What we do all agree on is that to deny him any form of comfort, such as newspapers, books or a radio is utterly disgusting.

[gness]

And your pomposity your biggest problem, Andy. Not your only problem but lord is it your biggest.

[andy-hughes]

Goodnight gness.

[burlyshirley]

Wow, you got away with that gness, I never do !!! LOL.

[steg]

He seems genuinely upset… braw… keep the status quo… he’s a killer

[tamborine]

"If the decision were mine" I would allow him mental stimulation via daylight, books & radio. He is being inhumanly treated, even insects have more stimulation!

[ichkeria]

As the very first person posted there may and and possibly is more to this than reported. It would be odd in fact were that not the case.
I doubt if this person was kiliing people out of a sense of public duty, however warped. People often use excuses for their bloodlust, and he didn't only kill sex offenders by the sound of it. So the authorities are lumbered with someone who is apparently a danger to other inmates, quite possibly all other inmates.
The reason for the particularly harsh treatment is not known. It may be justified, it may not.

[youngmafbog]

I'd say without doubt there is more to this. No one is kept like Hannibal Lecter without good cause. It rather looks like he is also a danger to himself.

And its irrelevant who he has killed, the problem is who he might kill next.

[youngmafbog]

And to answer the OP.

I'd put him down.

[lankeela]

If he was considered mentally unstable then he should be in Broadmoor. Perhaps kept in a straightjacket if he was considered too dangerous. If not then we must assume he knew what he was doing was wrong and should therefore suffer the consequences. Don't most people disagree with prisoners getting 'privileges'? If you break the law then you should suffer the consequences. Maybe if prisons were less like hotels then less people would offend. But to answer the OP I would have him put down if as I assume there was no question of him having killed those people.

[Mamyalynne]

Killing him isn't an optioned afforded to us.

A basic level of humanity is, if we lower ourselves too far - what do we become?

Jailers or torturers.

[gness]

There is something very wrong with people who want to “put down” someone who rid the world of child molesters.

[royfromaus]

I'd give him a telly, books and a child molesting cell mate a month.
