Here me out please, and consider how much better of you would be if this drain on society was elliminated (and before you comment about civilized society, remember pensioners will die by freezing in the UK over the winter!- who should a civilised society spend its money on killers and rapists or pensioners).
It costs an average of £37,000 to imprison someone. If sentanced to 20 years and released after 10, thats £370,000 we pay through taxation
For the offender to repay that back in income tax to society that would take someone earning £50,000 a year about 25 years.
I believe we must get to a point in saying in some circumstances there is no economic sence in trying to reform you, you are worthles to society and kill them.
