The Yorkshire Ripper question?

[PassingStranger]

Just read that it cost the taxpayer 11 billion to keep him alive including his funeral?
Do you still feel the same way about him being hung for his murders?

is it acceptable to the taxpayer to pay that much, when there are so many other things that the money could have been spent on, or dosent the money matter?

All those saying he should get the death sentence...

Hmm.... you will come deliver his regime then whilst awaiting it?? As well as all the others you will put on 'death row'?

You'd be happy to unlock the door ( yes,you, probably alone or with a newbie) take him where he needs to go...showers,legal meeting etc??

You would do that? With a man with zero hope left?

😂😂

What if he had been hung not ok?

@PassingStranger
You do know how much a million differs from a billion don't you?
A million seconds = 12 days
A billion seconds = 30 years

Come on....who is coming to work on death row? U.K. style and U.K. resources

Anyone??

What could possibly go wrong?

Gill Sims and Judgy would be proud of you 😂😂😂

Not quite. The number of people killed due to a wrong conviction is lower than the number of people subsequently murdered by released murderers. Some don't just go on to kill again, but go on to kill more than one. There's more innocent people killed as a result of NOT having the death penalty. Its a very simple way of looking at it, but the numbers of families hurting and heartbroken, the level of hurt and unjustness in society is higher WITHOUT the death penalty.

I don't know what the answer is, it's a very difficult subject.

The death penalty is not without cost though. The cost doesn't end the moment they receive the sentence.

Yes. Amazing how you’ve misread it and multiplied by power of ten and then thought fit to continue spreading this information. £11 million ≠ £11 billion.

It can't be £11 billion

Still waiting for your definition of luxury @Getonwitit

@SallyForf what do you mean
by " and" ?

I would leave the service.....many would

OP was outraged about something that we all know was unsuccessful, a moot point.

Also....a very high percentage of prisoners have adhd/sen/additional needs/autism.....

Still going ahead with executions?

No but perpetrators of grossly violent attacks should serve their sentences in harsher settings (thinking Victorian cells on an remote unpopulated island off the outer Heberdees kind of thing).
Occasional Zoom visits only.

Ok

And how will you staff this place? Would you also want to work in those conditions with those prisoners?

Exactly; this is where the outraged (& accurate) focus should be.

I could never agree to or condone legalised murder in my name by the state. I have seen too many miscarriages of justice.

But OP that isn’t the point.

OI'm not sure how that's an argument for the death penalty rather than whole life tariffs?

I don’t object to the death penalty in such cases but cost wise with the amount of appeals etc. I suspect it wouldn’t actually be cheaper. Prisoners are treated too well though in my opinion, their food and medical care is better than children etc.

Thing is, it’s a hospital. And unpalatable as it may be, generations do doctors, psychiatrists,
psychologists etc have studied the patients
/inmates and worked there, and all of that experience and learning hopefully has been used for the benefit of humanity too.

I know several people who have worked at Broadmoor and have gained from it in a professional level.

Why does he deserve humane?

I do find this case a troubling one. If we are going to keep people locked up forever should it be like this?
