    So, there is a guy in the US on death row after being convicted of 3 counts of rape.

    This guy commits HOW MANY, and is eligble for parole.

    The coppers bust a gut proving they have the right person, and the DPP & courts let them down.

    Life should mean life. Full stop. End of Comment.

    I am sure there are stats out there, about how many convicted offenders re-offend with either a similar offence, or a "greater" one. I would suspect that it would not be an insignificant number.

    Judges are supposed to reflect community expectations in their sentencing. If you ever want to get your blood pressure up, have a read of the sentencing comments from your local court. They should be available on-line.

    Maybe when sentenced to life they should have access to a decent short length of rope and one allocated hanging point in each cell, in case they wish to 'man up" But on the other hand
    that would be the easy way out, there should be no possibility of parole and nothing but hard back breaking work to do at least 5 days a week..

    The guy in the USA has the right idea with his tent city prison,, "old school",, no TV's or any luxuries for them at all. Just how it should be.

    Crimes like rape, murder etc,, bring back Draw& Quartering,,

    Real justice and consequence's of peoples actions might start to slow the thugs of this world up a bit. But of course, the fact that parents/teachers cant discipline is not helping our cause at all. Basically, there's no "pecking order" anymore.

    My question is,
    this guy has 28 odd KNOWN rapes and sexual assaults already chalked up...

    so he wont be eligable to be released until he is 70 something...

    he wont be able to attack women as easily...

    who do you think he will target??

    This is a rare example, a man who is completely without remorse and is still hunting whenever he is not restrained... this is the living example of why there is a no parole clause.

    On the other hand there is legislation that states if you please guilty at an early hearing etc you MUST be granted a certain discount to your sentence. The Justice (judge) involved stated that he fully intended sentencing him to life without any possibility but then gave the sentence he did..

    I think the preferred sentence may have been,

    Maybe 35 years for the murder
    another say 35 for the rape (remember he has another 5 rape charges outstanding...so 20+ years each on top??)
    another maybe 35 for the abduction/unlawful detention
    and only 10 more for breaching parole.
    (and you can take the discount off them for the guilty plea)

    (but they are to be served consecutively)

    To keep this bastards in prision cost us more that $40000 a year so I am against it.
    My proposal is (on the spirit of globalization) "export them" to some "selected"prisons and pay the respective countries $10000 for each prisoner.
    Kresty Prison, located in St. Petersburg, Russia can be a good start
    Camp 22 in North Korea could be another option
    Then again Sabana in Venezuela have the best accomodation

    I've said it before, and I'll say it again.

    If our manufacturing is going off shore, our banking is going off shore and our refugee processing is going off shore, It makes sense to move our prison system off shore.
    Have a truly global economy.

    There is no justice in this country and hasn't been for a long time now. I decided years ago that I would be taking the law into my own hands were anyone to harm any member of my family and I still adhere to that.

    I read this morning that the law society (protection for stupid lawyers, judges etc) is saying that there should be no adverse reaction to this case and lawmakers should not take notice of so called community concerns.
    If it was just this once maybe but it's not, this type of thing has happened numerous times over the years and probably can traced back to the adoption of the softy softly approach to sentencing of crims pushed by all sorts of do gooders including types like our Ed Dept. psychiatrist DiL with whom, thankfully, we have no contact although that also means no contact with the G/Kids.
    If it costs too much to keep crims in prison it's because of the luxurious conditions they're kept in plus all the goodies like TVs and computers.
    First off they should get a period of hard labour and constant exercise and be constantly assessed to make sure it's working and if it ain't, make it harder!
    Only at the end of a sentence should they be considered as fit for release with strict supervision.

    They are out there

    60% of those in gaol have been there before Looks to me the rehab side is not working very well and the punishment side went out when social workers got to work
