   And BTW, what IS justice for a known kidnapper and murderer of innocent children? Life in prison with 3 squares, cable TV, and conjugal visits?

I see no reason for cable TV or conjugal visits. Life in prison sounds about right though. (I beleive you asked this already) Note, again, my assertion that prisons need to be structured so that they do not cost the state money, but rather, that they generate income that is given to the victims or their families.

It is hard for me to see how prison could be zero cost. Criminals tend to on the dim side and have low earning potential. How could one motivate them to work without rewarding them with (say) cable TV?

In the UK, the cost of keeping a man behind bars for 1 year is more than the average UK income. So even selling spare kidneys won’t balance the budget.

I suppose infamouse murderers and rapist could always sign lucrative book deals...

  
   What’s with this certainty test? I think we all know that there are only two things certain in life;-)

Well, actually, only 1.

You’ve found a way of avoiding falling toast landing buttered side down? ;)
