I don't think anyone is in Disney Land and saying that it's okay and fine and dandy and let them get away with it, they should be locked up for the forseeable, for life in some cases, but taking away their life doesn't solve anything in the long run.

But that is what some people want,the criminals to be locked up,not let out after a couple of years,but this is where it all goes wrong,they get a few years in a cushy jail and then let out, all we are saying we would want revenge,of course we would,but most of us would never follow it through,it is just the expressions people use when angry or disbelieving of certain things,My guess is there wouldn't be so many calling for the death penalty back if prison sentences were for life,as they should be for child murders,I would be happy NOT to kill them but let them stay locked up for the rest of their natural.
