While I agree that there needs to be reform to our prison system and appeals process, I firmly believe that there are some cases, such as this one or the Tate-LaBianca cases that cry out for the death penalty. What has been the purpose of housing Manson and his followers? Or Berkowitz? Or any of these others? All that allows them to do is to cultivate their following and breed a new generation of warped individuals.

People say we can study them. For what purpose? These guys get off on the idea of playing with the minds of prosecutors and police. Do you think they're actually honest with anyone?

If we changed our approach to drug crimes, for instance, we would not be clogging the wheels of justice the way we do, but that's a discussion for another time.
