I can't help feeling terribly sad that this young man is now dead, at the age of only twenty, with his whole life ahead of him. His family must be completely grief-stricken.
The fact he obviously represented a huge danger to society is indisputable, but whatever were the evil influences on him to turn him into this malevolent monster?
I often wonder about the mental health of criminals. It's a known fact that many 'inside' are mentally ill, and one can hardly blame them for what they've done if that is the case.
However, the dilemma rests in how to protect us all from their actions.
Visiting 'my'inmates always left me sad and worried for them, as well as horrified at their mindsets and crimes. An enormous conflict of feelings on my part!
