This is why they should bring back caning. They should inflict physical pain on some criminals. It's the only thing they understand. Life if physical.

25 years in prison at the expense of the taxpayers @ 25K a year is $625,000 for a $300 cell phone? Granted the guy should be off the street, bus isn't there something cheaper we could use. How about multiple canings over a few years to make the guy regret and remember?

I'm sure the "liberals", the ACLU and Amnesty Intl. would love it

Just consider it the cost of preventing someone else from being robbed or worse at the hands of this idiot.

He's a career criminal. The thing about habitual criminals is that the damage they cause is well in excess of the cost of keeping them in prison. Canings will only result in his walking around more pissed off than he already is.

Perhaps we could produce a cheaper form of exile for those judged worthy of it. Perhaps we could outsource those prisoners to China. They could do it more cheaply than $25K.

The cheapest solution would involve a suitable length of rope
