You have got to be shitting me in thinking that this "person" has been or can be rehabilitated..

HELLO, he raped and killed a little boy. Then served 19 years in jail with other men...What rehabilitation tactics were used on him? All he did was learn more about man sex! Not to be an ass here, just thinking that unless this man had a major breakthrough than there is no such thing as rehabilitation.

Let's not forget he stole an innocent child's innocence and LIFE. He murdered someone...Those type of people are unable to be rehabilitated and entered back into society, especially given the fact that he has been locked up for so long, how the fuck does he even know about society at this point????????????

Death penalty would work in my opinion. Rid the world of his scum!

i don't believe in punishment for punishment's sake. i don't think someone deserves to suffer just because they did something bad.

Agree to disagree on this philosophy.

i think our penal code should serve two purposes:
to deter future crime, and to keep people who are going to commit repeat offenses away from society

Harsh sentences deter future crimes bor, thats why a state like Texas (high ass death penalty rate) have less severe crime problems than others

if two decades is no more of a deterrent than five, and the parole board has reason to be convinced that he won't commit those crimes or similar ones, i don't see why he should have to keep being punished out of spite.

The recidivism rate for prisoners released from prison within one year is 44.1%; this number rises to 67.5% within three years of being released from prison. Sixty-seven percent of the people who were rearrested were charged with 750,000 new crimes, which include property offenses, drug offenses, public-order offenses, other offences, unknown, and over 100,000 of these crimes were violent crimes. Of the new violent crimes committed, 2,871 were murder and 2,444 were rape

the recidivism argument is a really important one.

however i would point out that the recidivism rates for rapists and murderers are a lot lower; only 6% of released murderers were arrested for murder again, and 3% of rapists were arrested for rape again

Considering there are over 6.5 billion people on this planet, and a good percentage of these, probably, want to leave a good legacy for humankind...well, this guy can curl up and die already.

agreed.
we have enough people contributing to society. we don't need him.

spam or not fuck Richard Blenkey.
and while i agree with nimbus's arguement to some degree, a crime
as henious sexually assaulted a minor then killing them can never
be redeemed.
now if there is questionable evidence, misconduct, etc, then it
needs to play out in court.
but for a solid case,
hang or firing squad...even these two methods are too civilized

That is simply not true.

My state has a murder rate of about 1 per 100,000. Compare that to anywhere in the US.

We have far lower rates of incarceration than any US state, no death penalty either.
