Concerning aged murderers (be they Nuns or plumbers) and the electric chair. I think we all know that there is no such thing in the UK and Ireland. Murderers don't go to the electric chair over here, they go to jail.

Also, I don't think crimes like this should be 'about the criminals' but rather about the victims, in this case the victims were the babies that were starved to death, the incarcerated mothers whose babies were starved to death, and Irish society which was unwittingly being duped into paying for and supporting such crimes.

In cases like this, it's not simply a case of justice being done (locking up aged killers), but justice being *seen* to be done. We need to hear the stories of those who were victims of corrupt institutions like this, and the perpetrators (where possible) need to give an account of their actions. Punishment has a symbolic function as much as a practical one.
