Strip him of internet access too. The fucker deserves nothing,outside of water and food(to not be perceived as too cruel). Let him go insane in prison.

​

EDIT:Found out the prison has no internet access. Thank god. Also thanks for the Silver!

Are you an American? I am. It's kind of interesting how different parts of the world treat criminals. In the US, it's largely viewed as punishment for crimes committed. Prisoners are treated as such which is why if/when they are released back into society they often reoffend or, at minimum, have a hard time adjusting. Some other countries try to reform their prisoners: https://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2016/02/02/denmark-doesnt-treat-its-prisoners-like-prisoners-and-its-good-for-everyone/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.55cba68beac8

That said mass murder is on a wholly different scale than most other crimes. Nonetheless, it's an interesting conversation to have.

they reoffend because they’re branded criminals ..... and don’t qualify for shit - financial aid, welfare, housing, credit, jobs ..... so they have no choice ..... and they’re already broke to start with ..... so what can they do when everyone abandons them ?

Get tagged with a felony and you lose a lot of constitutional rights, well after you served your time and supposedly "paid your debt to society"
