You can't know what he's gonna do when he gets out.Fawxy said:3.5 years.
And when he gets out, he'll fucking do the exact same thing again.
Justice? What justice?
The irony here being that you could be arrested here for commiting genocide and you'd still only get sent to prison (or more likely we'd make up some bullshit excuse for letting you leave, Mugabe anyone?).Mike Laserbeam said:Child molestation is a horrible thing, but you need to stop treating these cases like genocide.
thats 3.5 years of constant rape and brutal beatings. pedos in prison are the lowest in the totem pole, every one beats on them.Fawxy said:3.5 years.
And when he gets out, he'll fucking do the exact same thing again.

Penology still has a long way to go, and is finding more success in some countries (namely, Scandinavian nations) than others.Liquidacid23 said:penology has such a phenomenal failure rate that it still amazes me any rational person is naive enough to think it's a better or even worthwhile alternative... imprisonment as punishment at least pretty much always achieves it's objectives of punishment and removing them from society where as rehab almost never achieves any of it's goalsDaystar Clarion said:This is normal for this sort of crime, and jail time is just that.
Jail time. He'll have to attend all manner of groups and rehabilitation units for years afterwards.
Rehab has always been a better alternative than locking people away for 30 years, but hey, get kids involved and it apparently becomes okay to advocate the wholesale murder of people.
Quite funny, don't you think?
I say drop him in general pop in the prison and make sure the guards inform the other inmates of his crimes... he will be dealt with accordingly
Actually, I believe that paedophilia is by and large a sexual orientation. But there are plenty of paedophiles who don't act on it. I think those who don't should be free to receive help without persecution, whilst those who go ahead and molest kids should be punished severely. Castration is a fair punishment, this bastard's sexuality makes him a menace to children.Frozen Donkey Wheel2 said:So lets ignore the fact that pedophilia actually isn't the result of demonic possession, it's a psychological malfunction that can probably be "fixed" with enough effort. And even if he HAD done this just because he's a terrible person who likes making others suffer, how exactly does horribly killing him make the world SUCH a better place then if we just toss him in a cell for the rest of his life? Oh, and then there's this:Put in bold to get people's attention. Not that it'll help.Esotera said:Apparently no-one here has the ability to read secondary sources, because they alone have said that the abuser has borderline learning disabilities, and is getting a whole lot of treatment that goes far beyond 3.5 years.
You don't need to go to jail for hundreds of years to have effective punishment/rehabilitation.
