Why not put Casey in the general population while in jail...??

[Theonly1]

Casey can't be in general population at the jail because someone would hurt her and the jail would then be held responsible.

...and G&C would file a civil suit against the Dept. of Corrections and whomever else they could name! What makes y'all angrier, KC in isolation or G&C gaining maybe millions of dollar's? :furious:

Heres a link to the women who have been sentenced to DR in FL...most had their sentences commuted to LWOP. There is one on DR right now, but I believe she has only been there since 2008 (Tiffany Cole). Tiffany was convicted of the brutal murder of two people who were buried alive. Another that was on DR, Ana Marie Cardona (brutal torture and murder of her three year old son, I believe) is now in the Miami-Dade County jail awaiting a new trial. Not a good precedent here.

On the above website it says that Ana Cardona was released from prison, but I actually think they mean released to county jail for a new trial. This was the last I heard on this case. Hopefully her vacation will be shortlived and she will be rightly returned to Death Row with no change in sentence. What she did to that child is unthinkable.

One more addition, there have only been two women executed in Florida's history...Judias Buenoano was executed in 1998 for the murder of her husband and paralyzed son. Of course the second was Ailleen Wuornos in 2002.

Not trying to bring anyone down here, but I think a look at Florida's history on this matter is important...even if not very encouraging. Florida does allright with carrying out the execution of men inmates it seems, they are second in the nation.

Ana Cordova is in Miami-Dade women's detention center since 11/2002.

Federal Court Rules WY Prison Officials Have Duty to Protect Inmates in their Custody (11/27/2002)

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CHEYENNE, WY-Setting an important new standard for prisoner safety, a federal court today ruled that state prison officials have a duty to protect prisoners from violence at the hands of other prisoners, the American Civil Liberties Unions announced.

"This decision will save lives and end needless suffering by requiring prison officials to develop plans for inmate safety and properly implement them," said Stephen Pevar, an ACLU national staff attorney who argued the case. "It will have an immediate and tremendous impact on the Wyoming prison system and will likely be influential elsewhere. It is one of the most comprehensive decisions on inmate safety ever issued."

The ACLU class-action lawsuit, Skinner v. Uphoff, was filed in February on behalf of Wyoming State Penitentiary inmate Brad Skinner and all present and future inmates at the facility. The lawsuit sought damages for Skinner -- victim of a brutal attack in his cell by other inmates on November 4, 1999 - as well as an order requiring prison officials to take reasonable measures to ensure the safety of all inmates. The federal court today ruled on the broader class-action claim. The damages claim will be considered by the court on February 17, 2003.

I've posted this before, but it's been a while. Not only would the prison be sued if Casey were hurt in their custody, but the individual guard could be sued personally as well. It's a whole different ball game than when Dahmer was in prison. Casey will never be in GP. I trust that the minimum she will get is LWOP and I am gleeful that at least for now, she's sweating knowing the death penalty is a possibility. I think she's far safer in jail than she would be if she were still at the parents' house. If they honestly care about her welfare, they have to be hoping she stays locked up forever anyway. Things were getting mighty ugly at the A house when Casey was arrested...

See, this is what burns my arse. why do killers have rights? I mean don't you give them up commiting a crime of this caliber?


moo

Because they are still human beings. Because many people are wrongly convicted. Because it is never okay to just stand by and watch a human being die. No matter what they have done.

I want Casey to live long enough that she realizes how terrible what she did is. And I want her to live with that feeling for the rest of her life!! That is the best punishment she could receive.
