I watched "dateline" last night... some a-hole lady sped her bmw at 70mph into a tree and killed her daughter and one of their neighbors kids..... the lady tried to bullshit the jury that the car just took off, etc.... but there were witnesses that said she was previously driving too fast and then went 70+mph in a 35 zone.

anyway.... GUILTY....so now she is in prison under "suicide watch"..... why not just let her kill herself? she killed two 13 year old kids and permenantly injured another one....... all of this happened in 2000... she has had 4 years to kill herself and hasn't....so why should we do something special for her???

and at some point, she admitted telling her younger (still alive) daughter that she wished that the younger daugher had gotten killed instead of the older one..... She admitted she said that!!!!

She was mega rich, had previously tried cocaine, was supposedly seeing a psycholigist about maybe getting "shock treatments"????? WHY WOULD ANYONE ALLOW HER TO DRIVE IN THE FIRST PLACE????

Her's a belt.... you put your neck through here, then wrap it like this around the bars.... then jump.... go ahead... i triple dog dare ya!!!!!

 

most would argue that that was an easy way out on their own terms rather than any punishment?

 

Yeah, it's similiar to why do they stop prison riots?

There's a surefire way to free up some prison space!

Overcrowding? Not anymore!

 

you think putting that woman on suicide watch is bad.....

They have Defibulators (sp?) on Death Row, Imagine that, you die of a heart attack, and they bring you back just to kill you!

but seriously alot of people are in prison for rehabilitation (okay let the flaming commence) but they are judged by psychiatrist as unstable (not harden criminals, not fit to handle prison). A woman like this, although a douchebag, will get out some day and may even live a meaningful life, so they do their best to "rehab" her while she is there.

That and there would be lawsuits galore if prisons did not help control prisoners in a state of mind like this.


A little off topic but....
Alot of people argue that prisioners should jsut be locked in a cell and have nothing, maybe a book to read. No TV's no radio, no newspapers etc.
Well guess what, most prisoners are one day getting out, do you really want a person who has spent the last X amount of years alone (and remember they did something bad before that, to get in prison) getting out.

 

I'm with Scot, let'm do it.

Here's another one while we're at it. Why do all these murderers get to wear bullet proof vests when escorted from place to place? That savage with the nasty dreads that killed 9 members of his family in California comes to mind. He's sneering, and making comments to the media as he is walking by all trussed up in his bullet proof vest. I guess if someone's gonna take him out they gotta go for a head shot.

 

I've heard that some criminals (Timothy McVeigh was one) would actually like to have the death penalty and be done with it.

 

The minute someone is in custody of law enforcement, wether it be the police, corrections, court systems etc. they (the law enforcement agency) are responsible for the welfare of the people in their custody. They're responsible for feeding, clothing, medical care and if someone is in a "unstable" mental state, responsible for supervision and care of that person. If the lady died because she committed suicide while in custody, the correctional systems runs the risk of having a serious lawsuit against them from the family of the deceased.

 

I would have to guess a bunch of these people are bluffing about the suicide....gets her some attention and some pitty........ that lady i was talking about had 4 years of freedom to kill herself.... if she was actually going to do it, she would have....... too bad she didn't.....

It had to suck to be the parent of the other girl who died to hear this woman blame her car.... "it just kept speeding up".... PUT YOUR FAT FOOT ON THE BRAKE....HOG!

There are very few cars that have more torque and power than the brakes can stop...... and most of them are all wheel drive..... a late 1990's 5 series BMW is not a car that has so much power you cannot stop it even at full throttle.

My GMC typhoon could drive through it's brakes but it had 400+lb ft of torque....

In every cell, they should leave a few razor blades, a rope with some directions and some sleeping pills!!!
