I don't believe if you kill someone that you are gonna be rehabilitated... I had a friend who was 26 yrs old had a beautiful 5 yr old lil girl.. and a guy I had known since i was 15.. was working on this friends house. ( I was 29 when this happened) My friend was to show up at work and never made it... her father went to her house and found her nude and dead in her basement behind her water heater. The official cause of death was stragulation, a ruptured liver and she was stabbed in the chest. ( she also had been raped) ... Now the guy who I had known since I was 15 was convicted of this crime. He was out on parole for a previous rape served 4 or 6 years in prison for it. My friend was murdered in November,a month before he killed one of my dearest friends he raped another girl and threatened to kill her three month old baby if she told.!!! He is now serving a life plus 25 years in prison for being a three time loser.He was a habitual offender and will never see the light of day or breathe fresh air because he is deemed a danger to society. He was in prison on a rape convition... and was NOT rehabilitated!! Because when he was released he went and did the same thing ... and this time it resulted in someone loosing her life and a lil girl was left without her mother!!!
Granted the girls in the Tate murder didn't ever commit a crime like this before that night. Most if I remember correctly were petty crimes. But still I think if you take someones life and are convicted you stay in prison even if you are terminally ill..... you were sentenced to life or whatever then life it should be .... you should not be allowed to be released.
My whole point to this was I was reading this thread to my brother. And he brought up very good points... those girls and most of the Manson followers thought Manson was either a messasger from God, or was a God. He looked for people he could manipulate and program to do his bidding. Either way it was wrong.
Again not that this had anything to do with the thread at hand ... but I have seen some posts that speak of rehabilitaion and from what I hve seen and what I have known ... people like that ( sick or not) are not rehabilitated!!!!!!
Sorry for the additional Posts
Peace

Along the lines of what you wrote above.....Back in the early '90's, I worked as a rehab counselor at a maxiumum security men's prison where I dealt mostly with sex offenders. I went in there with rose-colored glasses thinking that anyone could be rehabilitated. I left there a couple years later knowing better. The murderers, thiefs, and general neer-do-well's, I still believe, can and are often rehabilitated. Sex offenders - no way in hell.
I honestly believe we are all "hardwired" as to what excites us sexually. They are as well. NOTHING is going to change that. All we and they can hope to change is whether or not they ACT upon their impulses and fantasies. They are always going to want to rape, abuse children, etc. I believe they CAN learn to control those impulses and not act on them. But nothing can make them not be aroused by thinking of it. I came away from that job older and much wiser. For some of the sex offenders, the only thing that can protect society is for them to simply be denied the OPPORTUNITY to re-offend.
I saw certain other inmates in that same light but, overall, I left believing with near certainty that many others, including murderers, can and do change and would never reoffend. We can't just make a blanket statement that murderers can't be rehabilitated. Murder occurs under many different circumstances and not all killers are bloodthirsty psychopaths just waiting for the next victim (though some certainly are)................luci
