I always wonder about the people who come up with this form of punishment. Is THAT the ultimate punishment for everyone? Or is it just your own projection as something you fear yourself? And which part do you fear most? The act? or that the fact that it could be something you fantasize about and would choose to die before you let anyone know this? When people say its' going to be 'bubba' from cell block d. Is this your ultimate fearful person? Or is this again fantasy? The truth is there is no line up of inmates who can't wait to rape people for the sake of justice. That doesn't happen, not even in movies...
Torture doesn't deter violence, if anything it only creates more violence because someone has to carry this out. At least with a standard death penalty the problem is snuffed out. For more serious crimes like this i mean.
