Life in prison? What do we lose by giving these people lethal injections? They would die relatively painlessly and nothing of value would be lost. Taxpayer money wouldn’t have to support them. Unless we’re studying their brains or something, I say get ‘em out of here. Not every criminal serving life deserves the death penalty, but these guys sure do.
If we go under the definition of "Life in prison" as it stands, with no real effort on rehabilitation, sure. Kill 'em. Otherwise I'm paying taxes to feed a sadistic child molester and killer.
But I think there might be another way. With refocusing on rehabilitation, a society could glean 'n' years of insight, understanding, and ideally: a changed human. The staunchest of advocates against what they used to practice.
