You are struck, as you read more details about many of the convicted killers, at all the warning signs that many of them display. Not necessarily that they are future murderers, but that they are deeply troubled people who commit violent and illegal acts.

The next time you find yourself grieving over prisoners or wishing that people would be released, or the inhumaneness of the "3-strikes law" remember some of these people. People whose sole mission in life is to prey on other people should not be allowed to see the light of day. Period. If you are a career criminal, sorry, see you later, life in prison.

Now, having said that, we do need to do a better of job of transitionin released prisoners back into society. We need to incentivize good honest living for those people that are redeemable (which is most).
