At some point, you have to realize that "perps", "criminals", and "deviants" are still human beings, that they really can reform themselves and be productive citizens after they have served their time. 20 years is not any less of deterrent than life in prison. Treating people who've made mistakes like second-class citizens just ensures that they'll make more mistakes and harm society.
There are certain mistakes that I don't think can be taken back... murder & rape & and child sex offenses being 3 of them.
you threw around "shoplifting" and "speeding" and "bring camcorders to movie theaters" and of course i think that holding people for that crap, especially for long periods of time, is pointless... and maybe they can be taught better... but if you murder, or if you rape, or if you do something to a child... sorry, you aren't getting my support for recovery.
We need to wake up and realize that what we need is more compassion, not more jackboots, locks, and guard towers.
Maybe, like they're claiming in the health care debate, we need more compassion in the early years... I would totally agree... but if you're a grown adult, and you do an unmentionable... then bring on the locks and guard towers.

... they really can reform themselves ...
man, that is one of the most overused and abused words in america today.
... the Death of MS Word
... it should say "Why are murderers treated better than sex offenders"
Maybe the punishments for sex offenders are already ok, and the punishmnets for murderers should be more severe?
... the sentence that Dade received
... for how long are they "banned" (cause for example a life sentence doesn't mean life anymore)?

NASA plans on using $50 million in stimulus funds to seed development of a commercial passenger transportation service to space.
