through a return to
a

for
Non-Murderous Crimes
and
for
Suitable Male Criminals
because 'inter alia'
Western society
has jumped ahead along the punishment/deterrent curve due to the illicit
drug scourge.
Rehabilitation of
prison inmates, for
all but
Sadistic, Brutal, Premeditated, Unprovoked Murderers,
should
adopt features of the -
*
Restorative
Justice Model Successfully Adopted in Scandinavia since the late 20th Century;
and
*
Texas Justice Reinvestment
in particular
Improving Responses to People with Mental Illnesses.
Below are extracts from a recent ABC News article "Voula
Delios: Prison advocates warn of repeat killings unless mental health addressed
in jail" about a mentally ill prisoner, Daryl Cook,
who was released from Risdon Prison in 2016. The following day he stabbed to death an elderly woman working in her grocer store:
"Where
is the duty of care to the community to ensure that people exiting prison
have the support they need?"
“Until
the community understands you get tragedies if you do not treat people well
within the prison system, when they're released we are going to continue
to see tragic events.”

The Australian Parliament
comprises democratically elected representatives from across Australia that
discuss legislation and make laws for the benefit of the nation, relying upon
sections 51 and 122 of the Australian Constitution.
The persons that Australians elect to legislate laws that deal
with
Sadistic, Brutal, Premeditated, Unprovoked Murder
have
abrogated their duty
to the Australian people because of inter alia not acting upon the below annual Homicide Rates?
Homicide in
Australia 2012–13 to 2013–14: National Homicide Monitoring Program report
(Australian Institute of Criminology) reports that over 2012–2014, there were
-
* 487 homicide incidents involving 512
murdered victims (328
males and 184 females); and
* 549
murders (483 males and 64 females).
"The main reason for the abolition of the death penalty is the
squeamishness of politicians, who enjoy office but do not like all the
duties which power loads on to their (often rather narrow) shoulders. Far
easier to them to leave the matter to some trembling constable with a gun in
a dark street, who can be disavowed if it all goes wrong later."
The above Homicide statistics average 164
Australian males and 92 females murdered
each year circa from July 2012 to June 2014.
The number of murdered women and children has reduced
marginally since 2014. However, it remained over 100 deaths each year.
Capital
Punishment in two
Commonwealth of
Nations countries in South-East Asia
lists a small number of executions carried out each year.
Corporal
Punishment in Malaysia and Singapore evidences
very low crime
rates, notwithstanding that many Malaysians live a low standard of living and
therefore may be more prone to crime.
Each Australian state and
Territory needs to re-legislate
that
Judges should be empowered to
Sentence
at their discretion to the
Most
Heinous Of Convicted Criminals of the
Sadistic, Brutal, Premeditated, Unprovoked Murder of another human/s (classified as a
Level 1 'criminal offence')
Beyond any doubt of guilt, Capital Punishment as proposed
in the 2nd Prong of
Thinking Outside the Cell to reduce the
Baker's Dozen Unsustainable Problems Within Australian Prison System
to inter alia enable the vast majority of inmates to be
Rehabilitated
and released back into employment for a minimum of three months.
Economic Necessity Dictates that
Capital Punishment by
hanging by the neck after
An Infliction Of Corporal Punishment
each year
for a few of the
Most
Heinous Of Convicted Criminals found guilty
Beyond any doubt
of committing a
Sadistic, Brutal, Premeditated, Unprovoked Murder/s
-
(a) to placate any psychologists/psychiatrists/case
workers that opine that some
psychopathic murderers might viciously murder in order to be executed;
(b) to provide
Justice for the Innocent Victim/s;
and
(c) to
Protect the
Community,
because -
* there will be
fewer
Molly Goodbun's
being murdered by their husband because prison offered bed and b'fast for life
may not be the
Sentence;
* sadistic, brutal, premeditated murder should once again be
resolutely/overtly discouraged
with our
Punishments that resonate a powerful
Deterrent; and offers
Justice for the Innocent Victim or Victims;
*
markedly fewer inmates saturating Australia's
Maximum Security Prisons to free-up prison space and prison
warders/psychologists/case workers to
Rehabilitate,
after
An
Infliction of Corporal Punishment,
all but
Sadistic, Brutal, Premeditated, Unprovoked Murderers;
* the
Quality of Life for an inmate serving a
Life Sentence marked
Never To Be Released
may be negative due to manic depression and at best be very low as
identified in documented
Reports/Journals/Articles
-
Lifers deemed never to be released are dying
a thousand deaths; experiencing a manic depressive QOL; and
* $150,000 pa
Admin Cost per maximum security prisoner cannot
be justified
To Keep Despondent Inmates Permanently In A Manic Depressant State until
they die from natural causes, when
'health' and 'education' budgets are a higher priority.
