also, my second girlfriend was raped by this piece of shit
i knew who it was and he never got any serious trouble out of it
but one day i walked past a car and found the key to the car... and i deliberately found friend of piece of shit rapist, and said "this is a key to a car on this street, maybe your mate wants this" and he went and stole it and got way more trouble than for the rape charges
so, yeah... i know what i'm talking about and calculating, cold, and mentally painful ways of punishment are way better than any death sentence
it is said to be cruel and unusual punishment to put people in solitary for more than a year... i met a dude who did a year in there and he was given a pension for the damage after he got out
he was just selling heroin (and he was a junkie).
i say, if the act was cruel and unusual, then the punishment should be cruel and unusual
