    Does she just play with the puppy sometimes or is it in her cell keeping her company all the time?

    This lady deserves to suffer but inmates in this county are treated terribly. I could really get behind programs where inmates are raising and training puppies.

        As much as I’d like to see this creature meet a firing squad, all prisoners deserve to be treated as people. I do have an issue with her “knowing the right people” and being treated differently.

            Yeah that’s shit is abhorrent but you still can’t become them in order to pursue revenge. Guy below me said it better. In a perfect world, where you could know the truth 100% of the time, firing squad all day. We don’t live in that world though.

              I disagree here. This would not be “becoming them” in any way. What I do agree with you though is that the damage of “punish culture” could outweigh the gains of punishment/death in some grand utilitarian sense but from personal philosophy pov I find no problem with not having any sympathy, even as far as “treated as people”, for these objectively horrible monsters.

                True, wasnt a spot on comparison. But yeah there’s a grey area here that’s hard to approach, there’s also the problem of our very flawed courts that lock innocent people up all the time.

                  I definitely agree with the flawed justice system and tbh that’s really the only reason I’m against death penalty.

                  Some people are really really bad and if we are 100% sure they are then deleting them from the society is actually a good option as it frees up bandwidth and resources for more productive endeavours. The 100% sure is really hard to get but, as we can see, not always.

                  The other interesting point is that suffering in “humane sort of banishment” can be viewed as a ethical-purgatory of sorts and maybe we want that even if we’d never see the rehabilitation?

      I read elsewhere the puppy is being trained by another inmate as a therapy animal. And that its a program that as a convict of a sex crime, is one shres banned from.

      Mt understanding of these programs is that the inmates have scheduled access to the animals, not tthe animals living with them.

      Prisons don’t exist to make people suffer. They exist to give people the care they need to return safely to society
