I don't think that most States have a mandatory appeal process for life sentences. They do for the death penalty though. The point is that it isn't a "one shot deal" as you stated, it's a long and drawn out process.

yes, either way it's expensive. crazy the criminals get treated better than many poverty level people.

If i lived on the street i'd probably commit a crime just to get food, shelter, and cloths.

Kill him. Kill him slow and painful, and make sure he cries. Throw that Levinson moron in there too, what a quack. I'll give you prevention, impale the guy on live TV, make the other sickos think twice.

So, possession defines intent?

I think the reason for no record of mesurable reform for pedophiles, is that there isn't any reform for it. Pedophiles just are what they are. Pedophiles are attracted to children, in the same way heterosexuals are attracted to the opposite sex, and homsexuals are attracted to the same sex. There's no "fixing" that shit. Maybe it's a chemical imbalance, or genetics or whatever, we just don't know yet.

I like your idea of voluntary euthanasia for practicing pedophiles, all of whom I would consider violent.

Now here's an idea everybody is going to hate, but stick with me, it kind of makes sense.

If there are pedophiles that can be satisfied just by looking at child porn, we should give them some. Establish an "approved" database of existing child porn, (photochop the faces so nobody has to see themselves later in life), and make it an automatic life sentence for anyone in possesion of images that are not in the database.

Let's face it, in the case of existing images, the damage is already done. Those kids are never getting their 15 minutes back.

The goal here, is to prevent further abuse of children. If a pedophile can "sign up" for this database legally, he has no reason or excuse to try and make his own porn, plus, we get to keep tabs on the subscribers.

Ok, let the flaming begin...

I'm not a fan of continuing the victimization of those already victimized. Then there is the question, "How long before someone opens that database, so that they can be watched and prosecuted?" Patriot act, and all of that. If there exists a way of tracking such people, then it'll be used.

I prefer that we depend on people not acting upon their baser drives and, if they do, prosecuting them. A little willpower should permit them to avoid acting outside the bounds of polite society. After all if I can avoid taking an axe to the fucktard in the next cube, then anyone else should be able to control their drives.

Take that times life in prison and it's a lot of cash.

Personally, I say bring back the firing squad for the death penalty. Ammo is pretty cheap comparitavely.

It's not the cost of the actual execution, which is surprisingly expensive, it's other factors. Click here, I didn't want to hijack this thread:

The mere caustic nature if this type of material requires that not only those who commit crimes against children in creating that material are dealt with most harshly but those who traffic in the product of that abuse as well.

This individual had was was the equivalent to 400 metric tons of crack cocaine in his possession.

He is the Tony Montana of child porn.


I believe that we have made capital punishment too comfortable and too private. Most of the deterrent contained in capital punishment was the public spectacle that the execution became.

People brought their children to the hangings so that their children could see the end result of a life of crime and murder.

Now, no one gets to see what happens.
