mayhem.net Interesting little video. :-) Speck was doing 400 to 1,200 years. He refused to go to parole board hearings- -which meant he would never get out. Even if he did, he would still most likely never get parole. What parole board member would want it known that they voted for Speck's release? I'd say the answer depends on two things: (1) Is the treatment effective and, if drug therapy, can the therapy be enforced? (2) Will the prisoner ever be released to society again? If the answer to either question is no (and I think the answer to #1 is currently always "No"), then I would say no treatment is justified.

<<New Topic: Do you think criminals should be treated for mental illness at our expense? If so, are there any limits. We can begin with using Richard Speck as an example. He is the one who tortured and murdered eight nurses. Once incarcerated, he figured out he was a woman inside a man's body and has received a pair of boobs and all kinds of treatment to adjust to his new found identity...so I hear.>> Richard Speck, now there's one sick son of a bitch. He took a whole day raping, torturing and killing those girls while another hid under a bed during it all. You know how he was caught? He used nautical knots to tie up the girls before ... He was scheduled to sit in the Illinois ELECTRIC chair and get fried when a liberal USSC said that would be unkind to him. Converted to life, he got titty implants and hormone shots, moved from prison to prison when he got tired of where he was at. There are pictures of him topless with piles of money and cocaine in prison. He became a rich fudge packed queen with all the drugs he wanted in prison. Basically his goal in life. The fucker did die a couple of years ago due to cocaine use. I guess I have to make a point here. It's my feeling that he was rewarded for his actions when he caused all that suffering and death and I'm not for torturing him to death but I do think he should have been removed from life so he'd have no more pleasures.
