If society deems that his crimes are deserving of x number of years of incarceration, then he should be free to live his life after serving that time. However, I think the primary role of the justice system should be to protect society from criminals. With the extremely high rate of recidivism for this type of crime, I would not support letting him back into society. It's too great a risk.

I don't approve of the death penalty, so I wouldn't support killing him. That leaves some sort of segregation from the rest of us. Prison seems kind of harsh, because he's already served his time. I wish there were still penal colonies. Send these fuckers to one of those to live free on a big island.

A fair solution would let him live his life in peace after serving his time, and also protect society. Too bad you can't have both here.
