I like many others would like to see the death penalty brought back but am assured no Government will ever do so. One of the reasons is it is conclusively proven death is NOT a deterrent as most murders are not planned, but are acts of impulse or anger mainly committed by family members. My personal view is so what, if you take a life you loose a life.
With regard to prison, I had occasion to visit the 'BEASTY' wing at Walton, this is where s*x criminals are kept, believe me its hell on earth.
As for television his should be on 24/7 continually showing the pictures of those innocent little girls walking passed the leisure centre, with a length of rope one end securely attatched to the ceiling.
