You can believe what you want, but you will also have to justify sticking him in the wrong prison and thereby violating the other prisoners’ rights.
Sorry, Jeffrey ~ minor mistake. We all know who the guy is. His name is utterly unimportant.
Ping...
“Being locked up with a cannibal isn’t in the law!”
Being locked up with a cannibal is, arguably, cruel and unusual punishment.
However, if this is a Republic wherein the citizen regulates his own behavior, shouldn’t we exile those who will not live within the laws of the Republic?
Exile ‘em or execute ‘em. Caging a man degrades the criminal and the prison staff. Not to mention the cost of the prisons.
In the instant case, had the killer of the girl been executed the second time he was found here (he returned from exile), the girl would still be alive.
Not related to this story but like so many stories that get lost... I was wondering recently what the outcome was of all those women getting killed just across the mexico border?
Did they ever catch the killer(s) and are they still happening?
“You can believe what you want, but you will also have to justify sticking him in the wrong prison and thereby violating the other prisoners’ rights.”
Well, no, the other prisoners should have been protected from him, too.
While I think that punishment for violent crimes in this country should be much heavier than they are, I agree with you. The fact that people can get beaten up, raped, etc in prisons in this country really is a disgrace. No one should even have the opportunity to band together in gangs. The inmates appear to be running the asylums.
On the other hand, the prisoners weren't concerned with the cost ~ just their own hides.
The Federal government’s job is to protect its citizens from external enemies.

It seems that Alvarado was too comfy in US jails, since he went there twice.
At least now he knows different.
Social justice?
