That S.O.B. is going to take one hell of a lot of rehabillitating, if it can be done at all, which I doubt. There's an old saying- "you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear"-:)

Got a red on that one eh.

Or give them a short minimum sentence with no maximum. They can't be let out until it's deemed they are not a significant threat to society.

That would be an idea too yeah. Either way, it would be nice to see the system truly emphasise rehabilitation. We let them out anyway (my friend's rapist didn't even do 4 years), we may as well make sure that the overall health of society is being served.

For what that guy did he's damn lucky to get off with 15 years, nobody should even be thinking "rehabillitation" until he has done at least 12.

What? I believe in restorative justice and rehabilitation.

I've seen it work first hand.

Compared to other services.
I like to think, Canadian correctional services runs a very respectable gig.

Our court system is not too bad ether.

JLM, Shoot the bastard, Agreed, but who wants to pay for the bullet? Let him sit in jail and we pay thru the *** to keep these id10ts in jails and for what? So they have more rights than you and I as law abiding citizens? This is really getting to the point that we need to reintroduce capital punishment. Just my thoughts

I think the problem is the term capital punishment. If we changed it to "doing everybody involved a favour" it might have better traction.

Sounds good to me. I don't like capital punishment but I'm all for people doing me a favour.

Could be Cliffy, there's no doubt the term "capital" does carry the connation of money.
