Take some fucking responsibility!

The thing is how do you "rehabilitate" someone as sociopathic as a rapist? I ask this question with an open mind. Putting them away for the good of society, to keep them from harming anyone again, seems the only thing we can do until we gain the technology to reprogram a personality.

And even at that point, is that a power we wish to grant to government?

I've yet to see a government which does not abuse what powers it has alloted to it.

Lock them away. I'm not averse to a life sentence for rape; it satisfies the "eye-for-an-eye" requirement that BM brought up, insofar as the perpetrator, like his victim, must live with the fallout of his decisions for the remainder of his life
