Nope, not like a sadistic pleasure. And your second point doesn't really make sense. If it 'is' worse than finishing them off, then I would argue that's a more suitable punishment. When I say a 'strict' prison system, I don't mean beating them, making them break rocks 20 hours a day etc. I simply mean a prison system that is strict enough to ensure the prisoner doesn't lose sight of the fact they are being punished for committing a terrible crime.Like a sadistic pleasure kinda thing.
Isn't that worse than just finishing them off.?
