I'm a chud who wants to torture criminals because of a very extreme case? He got a psych eval. They denied him parole because he still didn't seem fit for society.

The prison system absolutely sucks ass in a lot of cases and MAYBE if it was better we could've cured his mental issues... Or maybe he'd seem okay and then do it again. The murders weren't out of desperation. They were psychotic.

You know I would love a update on these guys . When they said the part
about nighttime being the worst it really hit me .. took me back to when
I was doing dumb stuff myself. Somehow I escaped that, im not
successful or rich but I'm not in trouble and I no longer have those
feelings when I try to lay my head to rest at night. Really hope the
best for these guys and any other men women boys or girls out there
struggling

It is fucked up because you're asking a kid to make an adult decision.
Many adults can't accurately judge long-term consequences of their actions... kids are even worse at this.

It's shit that the other person is dead, but is it worth ruining both lives?
I don't know the right answer, but I don't think prison is it.

The comment thread went from "we shouldn't imprison children for life maybe" to "yeah kids can never change as they grow up, lock em up and throw away the key".

Brain development continues until 25 or so, meaning if people are given actual chances to rehabilitate, younger people especially would likely see lower levels of recidivism upon release.

But chuds like you just want to torture criminals, so bye.
