But such persons need not be freed again, save if new evidence causes us to know they are not responsible and that justice has miscarried.

Note: This means that those who guard inmates in such facilities should receive distinctly better training and compensation than they currently recieve. They are playing "point" with the predators so that we don't have to endure their threat.
But that will never work Sea, esp with well connected scum. You are right, the government does have that responsibility, but it does not have the resposibility to burden the people with keeping trash alive who have no right to be alive. If they want to repent, then a deadline will give the trash motivation. I do not believe in punishing them, only removing them from society. The problem is that if one 'repents' and is set free, he could just go back and do something else equally as evil. Kill the trash, and if they want to repent, then their souls will be safe, and if not, then the trash will get what they deserve later on.
