78. Incarceration used to be about rehabilitation.
Do you think that someone who is not mentally unsound could do what he did? Normal people do not murder their wives and dump their bodies off a boat. I'd question his sanity. The standards one must meet to be declared "mentally ill" are absurd. The fact that Aileen Wournos was killed prove that.

Make no mistake, the death penalty will be a thing of the past one day. And people will look back on this generation as barbaric just as we look back on those who tortured slaves.
