I hesitate to post this. I suppose prison officers have to try to resuscitate prisoners who have attempted to commit suicide. I can't help wondering though... Why? when it is someone convicted of the kind of crimes that put this man in jail: Ariel Castro
Wondering why, asking the question 'out loud' as it were, on gransnet, has partly answered the why. He was described by his lawyers as "someone with a sociopathic disorder" and they thought it would be useful to learn something from him in order to prevent such things as he did happening again. That seems like a good thing.
But, denied the feeding of what he called his "addiction", and imprisoned, it seems he wanted to end his life. My blunt and straightforward part thinks: Good riddance.
Why am I shocked by my own thoughts on this? Why does it feel not quite right at the same time as feeling like a good ending to an awful story? Death is not always a bad thing.
