Answer 1

Hello D.B. Cooper the long arm of the law is lookin for ya, LOL.
I believe in rehabilitation in all crimes except sexual crimes and pre-meditated (planned) murders.

Why i believe this is simply, because people who are willing to make the extreme effort to rebuilt their own inner character traits tend to overcome the evil they once possessed within themselves and once this is accomplished can lead normal very productive lives in society.

Molesters, rapists, cold blooded and premeditated murderer's are not capable of being re-habilitated. They may appear to be rehabilitated but in all actuality have just learned a better method of covering up thier crimes.

I worked in a Sex-Offender treatment program for the Department of Corrections in my state. During that 10 years, over 4,000 sex offenders completed the program and were paroled. Of that total number 99.8% of the sex-offenders re-offended.

Murderer's those who don't plan to kill normally don't do it again. Many spend 15 to 30 years in prison for murder, and yet never commit any other type of offense.

I do not believe in the use of the death penalty. Ted Bundy killed my neice Kimberly Leach and yet i didn't feel using the death penalty as punishment was the right thing to do, i'd rather see these rapists and murderer's sit and rot in prison with nothing but food, clothing, and water given to them. this means no books, newspapers, tv, radio, nothing period, no crafts, pencils, paper, not a damned thing.

Answer 2

Just as with any type of rehab, the person has to want to reform but still the statistics in back sliding into old habits are higher than people actually realize. I wouldn't want to be party to rehabilitating criminally insane rapists and murderers and HOPE they don't back slid. I think all rapists and murderers should be given the death sentence, with DNA testing today the chances of them being the truly guilty is 99%, why waste the tax payers dollars and keep them in prison where the chance even exists they could escape and do so again.

Answer 3

There is no way to rehabilitate someone who gets intense pleasure from killing another person, or one who has no conscience and will kill whenever he/she wants to do so. Ted Bundy, Charles Manson and their kind should have only one penalty. If you kill someone and it wasn't an accident, but a crime of premeditation, then the offender should get the death penalty. To keep them alive in prison to be released later on parole, will only enable them to kill again. To keep them alive in prison until they die naturally of old age, will cost too much, especially considering the nature of their crime (Their victims didn't get to die of old age.) and the fact that people are now living longer than they did 100 years ago.

Likewise for sexual predators. Their sexual urges will never be satisfied and they will continue to rape and molest until they die. If one rapes or molests a child (someone under 18), the offender should have the death penalty. Some 22 states now have a version of "Jessica's Law" to protect children. It should be in all 50 states.

Answer 4

Send rapists, molesters and murderers to an island by them selves and let them do onto each other what they have done onto their victims.
