Reply to comment by jarsnazzy in Two 15 year olds are interviewed inside their max-security prison cell by MiddleUziVert

In my hometown in 1987 a teenager drowned a 5 and 7 year old in a bathtub, and raped, shot, and killed the mother who was pregnant... He was recently back in headlines trying to get early parole. It was rejected.

TBH I don't really mind that he's serving multiple life sentences.

Sounds like that person is an extreme case and most wouldn't have a problem if their institutionalized for life.

People, and especially children, should have rehabilitation as their focus with regular parole by an expert panel to analyze their likelihood to reoffend.

The comment thread went from "we shouldn't imprison children for life maybe" to "yeah kids can never change as they grow up, lock em up and throw away the key".

Brain development continues until 25 or so, meaning if people are given actual chances to rehabilitate, younger people especially would likely see lower levels of recidivism upon release.

But chuds like you just want to torture criminals, so bye.

I'm a chud who wants to torture criminals because of a very extreme case? He got a psych eval. They denied him parole because he still didn't seem fit for society.

The prison system absolutely sucks ass in a lot of cases and MAYBE if it was better we could've cured his mental issues... Or maybe he'd seem okay and then do it again. The murders weren't out of desperation. They were psychotic.
