Yeah let's reform this 66 year old child murderer.
He can repent and do good works behind bars just fine.
US prisons aren't humane, so it's impossible to do good work behind bars.
It's also impossible for him to murder anyone else before he kicks the bucket himself. I'd call that a win.
So, should the goal for prison be to serve as punishment or to literally torture people? Either way, they're separated from everyone else.
Is this your first time ever hearing of the american prison system, or do you just not consider prisoners to be people?
Guess he should just be executed then, since he can't be reformed and prison isn't humane.
I didn't know you were a psychiatrist specialized in reformation. Good thing we have you to know who can and can't be reformed.
He should be, yes.
