I believe people have things coming to them, but I also believe it's not my job to arrange that. If they get raped in prison, they got what was coming. If they don't, then that's the way it works unfortunately. Life is like that. Either way I'm not gonna waste my life sitting here thinking "Damn they didn't get raped!" or "YES! They did!" They're not worth the time.
Like I said, lock them up in prison so they can never do it again. That's my belief of justice. Justice is stopping these criminals and halting any chance for them to reoffend. No more no less, I haven't got that authority.
