Thanks for the input, ju. So Sandusky will get Ad Seg? I mean, the prison term he is gonna be facing has gotta suck, no matter what, but it seems like a bit of a break for him to be granted segregation from the general population his entire sentence.johnny utah;4601796 said:No, he will not be in general population. He will due all of his time in administrative segregation or in other words solitary. Ad seg is for "snitches", high profile inmates (which the sandusky freak is), ex gang members, and state witnessess.

No one cares about what Sandusky is going through, don't care if he's in prison right now sad and depressed or crying his eyes out. Of course he will be upset because he wants to get away with what he has done and be free to molest more kids.
No need to waste time on telling us about what Sandusky is going through because no one will care or have any sympathy for him.
I feel sorry for the victims who had their child hood stolen and their souls killed by this man and their lives forever damaged. Hopefully this verdict will make them feel like justice was served and will heal more. I know that they will never be completely healed but I hope that this helps.

That's a nice cliche, but it really doesn't mean anything. How do we "prevent people like this from having such easy access to our kids"? What I mean is that in our society, we have adults who "have easy access" to children, whether they be teachers, babysitters, scoutmasters, little league coaches, or whatever. Sure, we could give background checks but until a little over a year ago, Sandusky would have checked out clean.WV Cowboy;4601883 said:Our society has to figure out a way to prevent people like this from having such easy access to our kids.
I'm not sure I'm "shocked" but there was definitely a large part of me that thought there was a decent chance I'd log on to the news sites one morning to see a headline proclaiming he killed himself.Kingsmith88;4601941 said:I'm shocked he didn't do it earlier.

I think we should toughen laws against anyone who enables such predatory behavior. Pretty tough to stop the Jerry Sandusky's of the world from victimizing a child or two, but certainly we could prevent it from going up to what could be a coupole dozen victims.

Would you allow your son to spend the night or travel with an old man 3 nights a week ??
That's why I said "parents wake up!"
RastaRocket;4602282 said:The main problem with this particular case is he targeted kids without much support. Many of their parents were gone or not around, stuff like that.
Well I asked you to give me some examples and you didn't, so all we have is an empty cliche.WV Cowboy;4602276 said:That's not a cliche, it is a very valid statement to this day.
You know what? If my son was, for example, the ball boy for a major college football program with a coaching staff with an absolutely stellar reputation for integrity on and off the field, and as ball boy he went on weekend road trips with the team, I wouldn't just assume "oh my Lord they're trying to molest him!"WV Cowboy;4602276 said:Would you allow your son to spend the night or travel with an old man 3 nights a week ??
I guess your children will never go to summer camp or school retreats or sleepovers at friends' houses.WV Cowboy;4602276 said:That's why I said "parents wake up!"
I think in the past few decades we've made a lot of progress against the perps. I think (and hope) that with events we've seen over the past 7-8 years or so, we're going to see strengthening of laws against the enablers too.casmith07;4602277 said:Deterrence. Only until they make these kinds of crimes more than a slap on the wrist will it start to get across.
