It is a fair point about making him easier to deal with though. I take your points, I'm not even sure where I stand on the whole thing.
Part of me says put a bullet in people like these-rapists, child killers, peado's etc
Part of me says lock them up in a cell for the rest of their lives.
Part of me says give them psychiatric help.
I don't know the answer and wouldn't want to be in a position to make the call either.
I think that as a humane society everybody, whether they're locked up or not for whatever reason should get the same medical care, extending to psychiatric conditions, regardless of the cost.
If an independent psychiatrist thinks someone needs it, then they should get it, I suppose that is the benchmark. I think otherwise it becomes a cruel and unusual punishment akin to torture-some would say that he's deserving of that. There's a reason we don't put some of these in prison for ever, let alone kill them... If they know that they will go to prison forever or die they might as well kill any witnesses (i.e. the victims)... thus increasing the risk. It's part of the reason yes.
I'm conflicted/hypocritical with death penalties, as the stats show they don't deter, can make the crimes worse as you say and because we shouldn't really be killing criminals in this day and age.
But ask me what should happen to someone who raped my Mum, my Brother or my Niece? I'd want them dead after a suitable amount of time in a cell.
Good news! Everyone will die. So the imaginary baddie in your hypothetical situation will die.

If you treat humans like animals, they will eventually behave like animals. Also, it demeans the humanity of the people who are inflicting the sub human treatment, thus creating more damaged characters.
Same with the death penalty IMO: it is sponsored murder. Not just homicide, but murder. The person pushing the button or pulling the lever is a killer. Isn't it monstrous that a society can create that situation?
I think the best solution for the worst criminals, those that are not fit to, or incapable of living in wider society, is to remove them from socitey permanently. Lock them away, treat them with a degree of humanity, not cruelty. Keep them removed from the rest of us. Forever. That is their punishment and IMO again, the price we pay (financially) for that segregation is worth every penny.
We don't erode our own humanity by further killing, or cruelty. We exact justice and punishment by taking them out of society for good, and removing their liberty.
For me, that is sufficient and worth financing. Of course if the victim was one of my own, I'd be frothing and wanting to string them up. But ultimatley that probably would achieve little other than making a lot of mess and damaging me for life, I would imagine.
Easy to say of course.
Crematoria.
I can see that happening.
Maybe he listened to Megadeth?

A feel genuinely sorry for the people who have to look after some of the nut jobs in prison. They are very scary places.
