He should be left to rot in prison where he belongs.

Yeah, right
Sensibly, the fact that he was almost certainly mad as a fish at the time of his offences he was tried and convicted and sentenced to life imprisoment.
In prison he was diagnosed as suffering from a mental illness of a nature or degree as to require treatment and is detained subject to the provisions of Sections 47/49 of The Mental Health Act 1983 in Broadmoor Special Hospital
Catch 22
Should he be paroled he would remain detained until such time as he is considered not to require detention for treatment of his mental illness.
Should he be considered not to require detention for treatment of his mental illness at any time he would be returned to prison to continue the remainder of his life sentence and apply for parole not when it is due but when he is elligibile to apply, this is decided upon by how low the risk of reoffending is and I'm sure some thought to the publics response to the outcome of the Parole Boards decision

Peter Sutcliffe should never be released. Why should he have his freedom when the families of those he murdered will never have freedom from the pain he caused them? They should have hung, drawn and quartered him.

Neither should he or any other criminal convicted with a life sentence. They have committed some horrific crimes and left a legacy of sorrow and pain for many families. There is a commandment that says "They Shall Not Kill", but also in the Bible "An Eye for An Eye" so they should end their lives in Prison.

He was convicted of killing 13 woman. He should serve 13 life sentences.
Incongru- police ineptitde should NEVER be an excuse for commiting crimes. That is ridulous. That is the worst argument I have ever heard. So you think the seriousnous of your punishment should reflect how good the police were at catching you? His punishment should reflect the crime, thirteen woman MURDERED

He should never be released.I don't think he's due for parole,just eligible for it.I doubt if anyone would be stupid enough to actually release him.Then again,with the morons in control,you could never be sure.

I don't think he will ever get out.
If there ever was a candidate for hanging, it would be Sutcliffe. But since I don't support the death penalty, let him stay in prison.

He has done his time and should be released, I still think Sonia should have shouldered a lot of the blame. Give the guy a chance, people can change.
He only went on so long becaue of poice ineptitude, and eventually he believed thet the reason he wasn't being caught was because God didn't want him to be caught. If the police had done their job properly he wouldn't have had to go on for so long.
Imagine the mental torture he must have suffered. Nowadays with all our human rights legislation and a proper social work infrastructure we would have been more able to accommodate his diversity of opinion.

I agree, don't think that he should be released in just six years time ... I think he should be in for the whole of his life.
He took too many lives to warrant going free.
And as Ruthi says, maybe rapists. paedophiles & people like him should have something removed to stop them doing it again .... cats, dogs & horses all get gelded - why not people like these with those uncontrollable urges.
