Life Behind Bars

by Jo | May 4th, 2006

I’m going to tell you I wasn’t surprised about the verdict.  Personally, I believe it is a just sentence.  Death would be to easy for this man.  He wanted to die — why give him what he wanted?  The cost?  Yeah, it’s not cheap to keep these people in supermax prisons, but you now what — he doesn’t die a marytr.  He dies a horrible, lonely, death in an 8X9 concrete cell, probably underground somewhere, only allowed out “maybe” one hour a day.  The only human contact he gets will be his guard and maybe a doctor or nurse.  This is not the county lock up folks — supermax prisons don’t play.

God will judge this man in the end.  We did what we could here.

  1. It’s amazing how much debate there is over this. One intersting opinion was that this is further evidence that we should eliminate the death penalty. The poster is not against the death penalty, but he said that it should not be used if it is not administered equally for equal situations, and if it is not happening often enough to be a deterrent. Something to think about.

  2. I agree with that poster actually. I am in favor of the death penalty; however, this country does not use it in a way to deter crime, so it has no power behind it anymore.

    Lord knows what would have happened if we had actually killed a muslim either. I would think the rioting would be very distructive — if they even would care about the guy.
