This view is extremely widespread, though people are normally more mealy-mouthed about expressing it than Magniras. Many people seem to believe that every crime should, in effect, be punished with a life sentence. This is as stupid and counter-productive as it is inhumane, and is part of the reason that the USA has by far the highest incarceration rate of any large country. One can only hope that if, at some future date people who think this way find themselves needing the support of society, they are treated with the compassion they deny others.

Evil women are OK?

Dude, you don't have to care about them. Once the jail term is over, they are citizens and entitled to exactly the same treatment as citizens. Jail is the punishment. When jail is over, the punishment is supposed to be over.
So instead of thinking you're still owed some weirdo vision of vengeance, consider the welfare of all the fellow citizens you're not entertaining some weirdo vision of vengeance about. They are the people who will be hurt when failure to treat people like ordinary citizens gives them no legal way to survive and drives them back to crime. Those people who will be hurt include you and your family as much as they include those ex-cons or anyone else.

It depends on whether they're really evil (out to hurt someone) or whether someone just thinks they're evil (for whatever reason). I have dearly loved at least two "evil" women. Who aren't considered evil any more, because now they're so mainstream they're allowed to get married.

I'm concerned that May's chassis apparently doesn't have any sort of diagnostic system to let her know when her freaking arm falls off; I mean, she didn't notice until Marigold pointed it out.
