I guess the thinking is that any woman who would kill her kids is insane
Yes and even if insane they should be executed or incarcerated for life. We just don’t have the mechanisms and treatments to reform these people and murder is so extreme that sentimental appeals to the heart are destructive to justice if we don’t at least isolate them from normal society forever.
I don’t like the idea that we can use prisons in a way to allow other prisoners to take care of murderers of children and abusers of children instead of society dispatching these evil people as a matter of state justice and legal policy. It just makes for more dangerous prisons for the guards who have to work in them.
