Personally I'm satisfied with the sentence... As long as it is 50 years. The thing that really p!sses me off with "First World" Criminal Justice Systems is the "rehabilitated", "apologetic" criminal released after 7 - 10 years.

Any sentence handed out SHOULD be served in full.

IN addition, while I'm against Capital Punishment on principle, I do believe that "Prison should be Punishment". No cable TV. No visits. No outside trips. No re-integration exercises. No drug withdrawal support / tolerance support programs.

While the mere loss of liberty would hurt an educated, middle class, well off person, it does not impact on (for want of a better word) scum in the same way.

Someone going to jail should be completely removed from society during the course of their sentence. This would save the prison services an enormous amount of money since the expensive parts of operating a prison (and co-incidentally the parts which cause the additional prison problems) are where prisoners associate with persons outside the prison and amonst themselves in large numbers.
