Satisfying ending to a miserable life...

[URL="http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/09/04/ariel-castro-hung-prison/2761177/"]Ariel Castro, who was sentenced to life in prison last month for abducting and sexually abusing three young women in his Cleveland home, hanged himself in his cell Tuesday night, according to preliminary results of an autopsy performed early Wednesday.

Castro, 53, was found at 9:20 p.m. ET hanging in his cell at the Correction Reception Center in Orient, Ohio, where he was being held under protective custody.
Prison medical staff attempted lifesaving measures on the scene before he was transported to the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and pronounced dead at 10:52 p.m. ET, according to JoEllen Smith spokeswoman with the Ohio Rehabilitation and Correction Department.

He kept the women prisoners for ten years.

I hope he enjoys hell and I hope he enjoys reaping the rewards for his actions taken. The world is better off with a monster like that not wasting our oxygen and endangering innocent people.

I was glad to hear about it. One less asshole that we will be paying for, for the rest of his life.

 

[nota bene]

I had hoped he would live a long and healthy life.

I'm torn on this one. It's great that we don't have to feed and house this sack of s*** for 50 years but he committed suicide because he found death preferable to life in prison so in a way he won.

I don't support the death penalty as a general rule, so I am glad he did it himself. I must confess I am glad we are free of this irreversibly broken man.

Would you be for giving every piece of crap like this a rope in their cell, let them do with it as they please?

I think that if we can save a life we should, but some are lost and can not be recovered. If that is their condition then yes.

I think you are saying put a rope in the cell with these scum bags, I agree.

I couldn't help but note that he kept three women prisoners for a decade, submitted them to starvation and brutal torture, but was unable to endure more than a few weeks of his own imprisonment, even when no starvation or torture was involved. This is one of those very few times that I believe a suicide was indeed an act of cowardice.

That said, I'm not sorry he's gone. Even in prison, his very existence would continue to haunt his victims and drain taxpayer money. In that regard, I'm glad he did it. The man was human garbage.

No doubt this will be a controversial opinion, but why was this allowed to happen? He should have been under watch to prevent him from harming himself.

Probably the same way that prison murders happen. I doubt that every prisoner is watched in their cell, every minute of every day.

 

[ChuckBerry]

This was a very high profile prisoner.

The article says he wasn't under formal suicide watch, but they checked on him every thirty minutes. Just how hard should we try to prevent a monster from killing himself?

This was a very high profile prisoner.

Why should he receive special treatment just because he is high profile?
