[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] [QUOTE] I believe that a vast majority of people could be rehabilitated given the right system of dealing with the criminals. Just because they don't show any remorse, does it necessarily mean that they will automatically go out and kill again? [/QUOTE] Which begs the question, WHAT right system? Given the best-ever tried rehabilitation system, the recidivism rate (that is, the people who go out and commit the same crimes or worse again) is STILL 80%. And people who don't show remorse for their bad actions, there's a word for them. SOCIOPATH. And yes, they'll do it again, and again, and again, because they just don't CARE about the consequences. People such as that go on until they are stopped, permanently. [QUOTE]lock them up for a bit, give them some new skills whilst they're inside and then let them out into the community. [/QUOTE] It's called 'school.' :) [QUOTE] After experiencing life inside and realising that they are not exempt from the law, the majority of them will come around. [/QUOTE] You'd like to think so... but it doesn't happen often. Hell, half of them gain 'gang' cultural prestige for having been locked up... some of them may even get to see family members on the inside. [QUOTE] If they have been convicted lots of times and rehabilitation efforts have failed, then lock them up forever. [/QUOTE] We have this, too. "Three Strikes, you're out." Isn't working as much as it was hyped to, and the prisons are still filling up. [QUOTE]I am still to be convinced about its benefits beyond satisfying the blood thirst of the victims families. [/QUOTE] It insures that that individual will NEVER harm another person again. They won't be paroled, pardoned, escape, or get released some other way. It generally balances out the crime... remember, these aren't milquetoasts who jaywalked. They MURDERED people, usually with what are called 'special circumstances' which usually means in a particularly awful or brutal way. Their deaths should balance the deaths of the person/s they killed. That they don't, that they're usually much softer, is what's unfair about it. As someone once wrote... "Cruel and unusual crimes demand cruel and unusual punishment. There is then nothing cruel and unusual about it." [/QB][/QUOTE]
