This has raised the discussion for what is the worst punishment for a person. Is it death or life in jail?
Maybe it should raise the question of how we help these people heal and go back to being regular people.
You know, rather than how to make them suffer the most.
Edits: Yikes! Glad this is the humanist-leftist platform. Y'all fuck with Alligators too to nah?
As much as it sounds horrible, this is the best solution to tackling the issue. The stigmatization/calls for death around the 'mental illness', could prevent potential future abusers from seeking help before they act.
If this was possible it would have been done by now? (Honest statement not being sarcastic) if I had more spoons I would look up the research about reoffending even after jail time, chemical castration etc. The % of men (if I remember it was American research done only on men) suggested that "rehabilitation " is close to 0.
My partner is a survivor. Their answer to this question is death.
