152. It is not about punishment, it is about containment
This is a mass murderer. We are suggesting releasing this person into society. We think she might have 6 months to live but no one can honestly know how long she has left. If she believes she has only a short time to live remaining, what might she do with her remaining time? I for one don't care to find out.

I don't want her to suffer in prison, however if my choice is between her potential suffering in prison and the potential suffering she might cause to innocent society, I'm afraid she loses.
