I'm really glad people think this way. Our prison system is SUPPOSED to be about rehabilitation not random or targeted acts of violence. Whenever a story like this shows up on Reddit the entire thread is filled with people celebrating the violence yet those same people would condemn the violence right-wingers or people who don't think like them. The man has already been judged by his peers and sentenced. Any further punishment or violence goes beyond justice.

Prison is also for punishment.

Then why are they called Correctional Facilities?

It doesn't matter what you call them. Prisons are for rehabilitation, punishment, and to segregate criminals from the rest of society.

Only fools think otherwise.
