You dont really know what effect prison has on you...believe me there are many that go there and vow never to go there again. To have your freedom taken away from you...being told what to do...watching your loved ones have to endure visiting procedures...the shame...the embarrassment. It can teach some people a very valuable lesson..it can be a massive deterrent. Shes had loads of therapy and its clearly not working. If she kills someone it will not only ruin innocent lives but it could also be the end of hers.
