    Its so weird, to listen to these inmates talk, to almost feel compassion for them, and then to think about the crimes they committed. Where does one draw the line in simple human compassion? What a strange paradox.

      Because monsters do not exist and no one person is ALL evil. What they have done is unforgivable but it does not mean that they do not have any Good sides in them as well. Hard to comprehend since many of us want to put individuals in a box with a lable on it. People are more complex than that. Even those Who do unspeakable things. Reflect on that. More should in my opinion.

      tamousha Unfortunately monsters do exist. Work in a prison and you’ll know that they do. Some people are just born that way and their environment only enhances what was already there. You’re right, there is good and bad in all of us, I guess the difference is the degree of good and bad we carry.

      Look, everyone, life is complicated. There are people who are more weak to influence than others and more prone to violence than others. I struggle to believe anyone in this situation could be properly rehabilitated. Our prison system in the US is far from perfect. It looks like everyone is mostly trying to make the best of what they get. I don't want these people wandering the streets as they were when they committed their crime, but I really don't think we're doing anything for them to change them for the better. So many ex cons out of prison make an immediate attempt to get back in because life outside is so hard when you've been in for years or decades.

Something made them that way. You think 90% of people who saw combat and killed ever thought they would be capable of taking a life? Probably not. Than it became just every day thing to them. PTSD during war or childhood. Guys were abused as kids probably also think violence is normal. Or course there is mental health, drugs, broken families, influence by older "role models" etc... There is a saying back in the old country - another man's soul is like a dark room. You never know what in it. P.S I'm not defending murderers and sadists or anything. They did the crime and have to receive punishment.

      @Joshypooo absolutely. My teen years were happening right around the time when USSR collapsed. Organized crime surfaced. Value of human life became 0. There are some people who I used to be friends/classmates with for years who are doing life in Ukraine. Murders, war crimes and other serious crap. I knew these guys for years... I thought I did.

      @Vectik Then you think about the loved ones of the people they killed, and it's hard to not to feel more empathetic towards them than the criminals. The criminals chose to give in to their lower instincts, the victims didn't have a choosing most of the times, and it's kind of pathetic when a man has enough balls to take a life but weeps when he contemplates the end of his own.
      They're not there by accident, if they wouldn't have killed, they would be free right now.

      No, they manipulate lonely women out of their money. There is no "love"... but the lonely women can tell their friends/family "they have a man" when in reality they don't.... Google Ritchie (who is a POS, for what it's worth).... and you'll see his "wife from England" complaining on some other site that she found out he has some other woman on his visiting list, he's not responding to letters, etc.

      Then if you're so enlightened... please tell us dumb Americans what else it could be?
      What does a guy in prison (in the US), who will never see the light of day again, and will likely be killed by the state on a gurney at some point, have to offer a woman (in the UK)? Answer: Absolutely nothing. Like I said.. .this is all about insecure women and men behind bars who take advantage of them. Trust me, I've seen this a BUNCH of times... it's usually a woman who for whatever reason (usually self esteem issues) can't get a man on the outside, but wants to tell her friends "she has a man".... easy targets are these guys. They will give her 100% attention (so long as she gives them money), tell her how wonderful she is, how pretty she is, etc... despite the fact it's quite possible she will never even hold hands with him. Now, she can tell her friends she "has a man"... forget the fact he is in prison and she's never so much as kissed him (most death row visits in Indiana are no contact).
