The end could be near for Charles Manson.

The legendary mass murderer is on his death bed at a Bakersfield, Ca. hospital, according to reports.

[...] Manson, 83, has spent much of the past year dealing with the aftermath of internal bleeding from a lesion on his intestines.

Insiders say he was admitted three days ago and "it's not going to get any better for him."

    Stop. There are ways to detain them even further. Don't be an idiot. Do you honestly believe that I didn't consider all of your flimsy, pathetic objections? One of them was even in a post above (violence in prison).

    And nobody ever escapes. And nobody is ever released in error. And no criminal is ever capable of running a criminal enterprise from behind bars.

    So we should kill people because bad things might happen at some unspecified point in the future. Great.

    And of course, innocents are never given the death penalty. To me, that alone is enough of a reason to never do the death penalty, regardless of literally anything else. If you don't agree, our values are simply irreconcilable. I would rather risk all of that than give someone the death penalty, because I'm not an authoritarian piece of trash. The government should have no such power.

    And while you can't reverse either the death penalty or the time someone spent in prison, it is at least possible for someone who spent time in prison but then was let out after being found innocent to live some sort of a life. I've heard all the arguments.
