and cheaper to boot.

Then there is murder and murder. There are murders that may justify eventual release. It is not all black and white.

On the subject of permanent confinement, we can do it if we choose to establish sentencing guideline where those that are now subject to CP are not eligible for release or pardon for any reason other than acquital. I agree that the rapist and molesters should be included.

There are guys like Manson who are never going to be set free so we have proven we can do it.

For the insanity pleas, there are some things that are so horrendous that insanity is no excuse. They should be judged guilty but insane and kept separate but never released.
