I don't see why those in favour of the death penalty are so dead set on its continuation. What harm to society is there in keeping even sadistical serial killers firmly behind lock and key - treating them humanely but certainly never letting them out into society again? When the very fact that they, even *they*, are treated humanly in prison serves to remind us all that society as a whole will and should demonstrably *not* sink towards their level in *any* way, shape or form: What they did in taking lives (not to mention the how and why and how often of it) was unconscionable and outside the realm of acceptable human behaviour, and the punishment in pointed contrast should be humane, though certainly not naive.

Treating them humanely? Did I read that right? Did Hindley and Brady treat Leslie Anne Downey humanely when they sexually abused her, took photos of her, and recorded her screams and pleas to be allowed home to her mummy? Them two wern,t human, therefore didn,t deserve to be treated as such. Hell Hindley had her own cell, she was allowed a tv, allowed to decorate it as she wished, she took degrees, had access to computers and even had lesbian lovers in prison. Completly outragous. I,m sure Leslies mother would have liked her daughter to have got a degree in something had got herself a good job, had a family etc, but because of the EVIL actions of that depraved pair of monsters, she was denied all that, whilst that bitch Hindely got a life of comparative luxury, even if it was in a cell. Treat them humanely?? Don,t make me laugh. They wern,t human, they wern,t even animals, they were just monsters, pure and simple. She wasn,t punished even by being in prison. She had the one luxury her and her monster in crime denied all their victims, LIFE. Long may she rot/burn in hell.
