Yeah, I can't figure out a single reason this would be OK. Even murders, rapists and other morally shitty people either deserve to get help to improve themselves, as they are obviously damaged in some way, or at least put in a place where they don't get worse.
I'm not generally for death sentence, but I'd honestly change my view if the alternative to death sentence is being locked up in solitary for the rest of your life. Death in this case would be kinder. Best would be that none of those options exists.
- rectang 6y agoThere is no animal species more savage than humans. Orcas, great cats... nothing comes close to our innovation in torture methods, deliberately hacking evolved pain mechanisms to maximize suffering. Solitary confinement is a particularly ingenious way of inflicting agony.
- mesa8 6y agoI find it hilarious how evil naive this forum is. Read some court documents on torture cases sometime, or even just read crime and deterrence literature.
- capableweb 6y agoEvil naive? How come? I've read plenty of court cases and I'm still of the same opinion. Those people who commit those things are corrupted in some way, and need help. If your point is that they will never get better, the most human thing to do would be to execute them, rather than putting them in solitary. If there is a chance we can "fix" them, then I think we should aim for fixing them.
