I guess he can serve coffee to inmates. The offended that he committed were brutal crimes against children. He dragged them behind buildings beat them then rape them. It's great to know that this menace has been removed from society.

'Sentenced to life WITHOUT the possibility of parole', I mean...REALLY? Knowing how so many horrific crimes such as this, are being committed and given a slap on the wrist and told not to do it anymore, then set free back into society WORSE than they were when they were busted, because of 'over-crowding', for example?? That IS NOT justice for the victim's families OR for society. When crimes such as this has been committed, then GIVE the penalty that WILL be justified...forever.
