Whatever is in accordance with the laws of that jurisdiction; assuming they are considered reasonable within certain degree by, say, standards outlined by the United Nations.
I would say that, with the particular heinousness of these crimes, that sentencing should include many years of incarceration, but I imagine the rules are different if the accused will be tried in a juvenile court. (This is altogether another issue up for debate.)
Whether the guilty decide to spend their sentences brooding in anger or passing the time with remorse is entirely up to them. I know the victims didn't choose to be victims... but the assailants won't be able to choose the consequences--the outcome of their actions will be handed to them.

Your opinion is worrisome to me. How low should the death penalty go? ...and would the victims be able to skin the victims alive? Gouge out their eyes? Would this be televised? Would that restore harmony to society?
Your idea of justice isn't only sad, it is illogical. You condone wanton violence as a response to violence. This isn't justice, this is madness.
