Prison

This is the 43rd anniversary of the Manson family murders.  They went on a killing spree and murdered young and old, rich and poor and even tried to assissinate President Ford.  They were motivated by money or politics, they were simply evil people bent on doing evil deeds.  They are an excellent reason why we need the death penalty for certain criminals.  They are far too dangerous to be released from prison and far too dangerous to expect someone to spend their life guarding them.

Think about that for a few minutes.  We in California value the life of Charles Manson so much that we have people spend their whole lives guarding him rather than put Mason to death.  We pay prison guards tens of thousands of dollars per year to guard someone who is partly responsible for many murders, there is no doubt of his guilt.

How would you like to be a prison guard and spend every day with people like Charles Manson?  Knowing that everyone you contact during the course of your workday is another officer or a deranged, murderous criminal who has killed before and could very likely kill again?  You are guarding people who often were sentenced to death but in nearly every case will die of natuaral causes before they are every executed.  I greatly respect those officers who work in our prisons, the toughest beat in the country; that's what the SGT Says.
