I think that Jerry Sandusky got off lightly. He should have been given life in prison. Hopefully his cell mate will do to him what he did to those young boys.

He's a child molester in prison... for the rest of his life (unless he lives to be 98 or 128 if he doesn't get parole)... he's not going to enjoy the rest of his life, I can assure you (child molesters are hated by inmates)

Quoting Revelation (Reply 3): Not yet, but I'm almost positive he'll end up being some bull's bee-otch in the big house.
I want to say that after he was found guilty he didn't understand why he wasn't in the main jail area. To me, that would be an indication of just how sick and twisted he is if he doesn't understand why he would be in danger.
Quoting Revelation (Reply 5): They'll say helpful things like "It's shower time, Jerry - don't forget the soap!"
Just some rhythmic slapping sounds. And some horseplay, you know, boys will be boys.

Chances are there's a shiv or pecker erect in his near future. From what I've read and understand on jail house culture Short Eyes kiddy perv diddlers are at the bottom of the incarceration food chain and usually meet up with that special prison Welcome Wagon.

It is too bad that he wasn't caught, tried and convicted 15-20 years ago and got a 50 year sentence. He was able to get away with his crimes for at least 30 years so no sentence will be sufficient for the obscene damage he did to those then kids who have to live with the abuse for all their lives which could be 60-70 years.
As much as many of us want him to be raped in prison like he did to those boys, better would be to be put into solidarity, alone with no human contact but his guards, no tv, no radio, a bare single cell in the darkest place in the prison serving 'penance' to his death.
It will be interesting the sentences to the Penn State officials who covered up Sandusky's crimes to 'protect the school'. They also need to go to jail for the rest of their remaining lives for their gross crimes. If they did the right thing over 10 years ago, so much suffering could have been prevented.

I hope that if Jerry is abused in prison someone notices and reports it at which point the offender(s) is promptly dealt with. That would be a much nicer "F*** You" to Sandusky and the Penn State deniers.

*Some* molesters show remorse. *Some* molesters know they broke the law. This guy thinks he is the victim. Life in prison is too good for him. This man is touched in the head.

Quoting QFA380 (Reply 11): Who cares about that 8th Amendment though.
Apparently Sandusky didn't think raping defenseless victims was was cruel or unusual.
Maybe he'll change his mind when he's on the receiving side.
As above, he still accepts no responsibility for his crimes, and states all he did was help these boys.
I doubt years of solitary confinement will change his mind about it, but who knows...

Quoting Revelation (Reply 15): Apparently Sandusky didn't think raping defenseless victims was was cruel or unusual.
I've never understood this line of thinking. Of course he didn't think it, however he has had his rights removed because of it. Why don't you go rape him yourself if you think thats what he deserves? Of course you wouldn't, just like you would probably not pull the trigger or push the needle into someone. You wouldn't do it because you're a rational, reasonable human being with a conscience.
Now tell me what the difference between you doing it personally and you de facto authorising someone else to do it is?
The whole reason cruel and unusual punishment is banned, is to separate the nation from the criminal, a critical distinction, otherwise you're just as bad as them.

Quoting D L X (Reply 7): Do you think 68 year old Jerry Sandusky is going to live to 98-128?
Pretty unlikely. Especially with, you know, how child rapists are treated in prison.
Statistically he has around 10 years left, so it is unlikely he'll ever get out of prison. I am sure he'll get what he deserves in prison, hell; he could end up dead.
Quoting Max Q (Reply 14): Sandusky should have been executed.
I agree, but you can't be executed for that crime. I would like to see one the one bullet in the back of the head treatment to a lot of these guys and if they don't die let them bleed to death in a gutter.
Sandusky may be executed yet... Remember Jeffery Dahmer? That guy was beaten to death in prison with a mop, which had to take a while.

Sandusky received a fair trial and the punishment he is receiving is reasonable when compared to his crimes. He was eligible for a sentence of up to 400 years.
Cruel & unusual are the attacks that Sandusky carried out on young bouts. If he believes anal rape is "normal" then he will be most comfortable in prison.

A lot of folks in Oklahoma (including me) would have had no problem pushing the needle on McVey.
Actually, yes, there are precious few criminals who are convicted of a crime and, later understand they did something wrong and actually try to change. Not many, but it does happen.
Also, this is one reason I don't believe in the death penalty. Criminals should just sit in a cell and be left to think about what they did and how it affects the loved ones.
But, Sandusky is such an ego maniac, he will never understand he did anything bad or wrong.

That isn't my thing, but I would hit the guy with a pipe or a chain if I had the chance.

I'd do it in the blink of an eye if I needed to and the guy deserved it. If I saw a guy like Sandusky doing great bodily harm to somebody I would not hesitate to pull my gun on him and shoot him. Deadly force is ok to use when you or someone near you is in a possible life threatening situation. If I saw some dude, raping a child I would probably shoot him because a reasonable person would think there is a fair chance that kid will end up dead. The news is always reporting a story about a child who has been raped and murdered.

I bet that some people thought that was even too good for that guy.

How is that a knee jerk reaction? That should be everyone's reaction. Of course the court isn't sanctioning that kind of punishment, it will happen away from the guard's eyes though. And while I wouldn't wish anyone to experience rape, I can't say I have any ounce of sympathy for him. What he did was unconscionable and he deserves whatever comes to him.

Not sure why you are saying he's had his rights removed.
Certainly not because I posted a vengeful opinion on an Internet forum, I hope.
Quoting QFA380 (Reply 17): Why don't you go rape him yourself if you think thats what he deserves?
I'd not do that for the obvious reason, but this is a case where I'd personally administer pain to the best of my ability. We're talking about an adult scum who has been committed repeated crimes over decades of time and has no remorse for his juvenile victims. Justice is not being served in this case.
Quoting QFA380 (Reply 17): The whole reason cruel and unusual punishment is banned, is to separate the nation from the criminal, a critical distinction, otherwise you're just as bad as them.
I'm a human being having a vengeful thought, one that I think is very well provoked by this man's actions.
It happens.
Personally, I do not think justice has been served in this case, because I do not see how living his life out in prison is going to change his state of mind one bit, nor make much of an improvement in the lives of his many victims. However, I can see how him getting a bit of "prison justice" just might.
