I think you may be confusing the term monster here just a bit. The "monster" is the
bad people who take life without justifiable cause or sane rationale, NOT the
good people who must find some form of suitable punishment for said heinous crimes.
You propose to me some equally suitable form of punishment such as the current WIDELY accepted form (the death sentence) and I'll rethink my current stand on this atrocity. I can't personally think of anything more fitting. If, however, you wish to suggest that I stomach the notion that these brutal, lunatic
MONSTERS be allowed to live out the rest of their natural born lives in captivity under any conditions that do not include the road that leads to their extermination (such as years and years of medical research to answer the question "why did you do it?"), I'm going to have a problem accepting it.
You see, these animals relentlessly tortured (for how long??) and killed an innocent woman and her child. This isn't some sad fairytale in a storybook, nor some dramatic scenario in a TV show or slasher movie. This really happened in our society. Now we must decide whether or not these people are going to be allowed to continue living in our society, in any capacity.
What's even scarier to think about is, if they are not executed within a reasonable measure of time, and instead given the opportunity to continue living, in confinement or otherwise, they will more than likely kill and or torture someone again. It's already been proven that this is their very nature, which we can all agree is extremely abnormal and quite unacceptable. Only this time, it will be a state or government paid medical staff member or prison guard, or maybe even some unsuspecting inmate. It happens all the time, and we know it does, and still we seem to have a problem with removing this cancerous breed of animal from our gene pool, and all because it makes us feel dirty in our deepest secret places.

I don't believe there is much benefit to our society, in this day and age, that can be gained by the life of an animal capable of doing the things done to this woman and her child. If they are allowed to live, they will live each waking moment striving for the opportunity to get free and continue living as they have thus far. Not bettering themselves or anyone else. Not atoning for their crimes. And certainly not making our society better for letting them live.
