Perfect Passing 277 Posted August 13, 2016 Local reports here in Yorkshire are suggesting that the Heath Service will save £250k per year once he is in a prison cell. A strong argument for cut backs, me thinks!! Alternatively, how much would a bit of rope and some scaffolding have cost in the early eighties? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rockhopper penguin 2,265 Posted August 13, 2016 Just putting this here Anyone that opposes the death penalty but still wishes death on this man is a hypocrite. No, you are totally wrong. The death penalty is the state ie politicians, holding sway over life or death. That can never be morally or philosophically acceptable. You can't make murder illegal and then allow yourself to do it. I personally wouldn't kill Sutcliffe if I had the chance, but I won't be in any way sad if someone else kills him. However they would be rightly be guilty of murder. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If any of this medication comes in the form of a suppository it might get dislodged anyway! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure about that.I personally wish a long painful and diseased riddled existence. I tend to understand that point of view. There are some evil entities in the world which test that, however, like Tobin, Brady and my in-laws. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CarolAnn 926 Posted August 14, 2016 Jeffrey Dahmer was killed in prison because another inmate - a violent murderer himself - was repulsed by Dahmer's crimes. There was also rumor that there was cachet assigned to harming or killing Dahmer, but that was never proven. It is true that status is very important in prison, though, so who knows? Dahmer was in the general population, which was strongly opposed by his legal team, when he was beaten to death. Dylann Roof, being held awaiting trial for a racial massacre in a church in South Carolina, was recently beaten in an attack that stinks to the high heaven of a setup. Apparently there is now a level of fame for the inmate who attacked Roof and he is more kindly looked upon by his fellow inmates. In US prisons, there are peculiar racial, sociological setups between the guards and inmates. Inmates who preyed on the helpless are usually the most preyed upon. Kill a child and your very short life will be a living hell behind bars. Every inmate, no matter how violent or sadistic or insane, has a mother, and most have sisters. Gangs in prison thrive on notoriety. I doubt it's all that much different in the UK than it is in the US. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted August 21, 2016 Radio Four's The Reunion this morning re-united some of those involved in reporting and investigating Sutcliffe's crimes back in the day. Also made it clear there is still some police will to use the move to jail as a means of asking him about some unsolved ripperesque stuff going back to the late seventies.
