If knowledge of their crime gets out in prison, they will be raped and beaten senseless for a long time, possibly to death.
That would be a blessing to them, compared to the torment they deserve.
I, unlike many others here, am not additionally swayed by the fact that it's a kid- I'm just as enraged, however, because it was a helpless human being (no matter the age).
Death is too good a punishment. Torture, while attractive, only lowers us.
The punishment for these people? Solitary confinement, until the day they die from old age. They can never speak to another person, most especially not each other, for the rest of their pathetic existence. No visitors, no nothing. Just them, 4 walls, a toilet, and a bed. And if they try killing themselves, let them- they're going to hell anyway.
