Rape is such a heinous crime. It completely demeans the victim's sense of value and self-worth. In many cases, it even leads to suicide if proper care and counseling are not administered. This shouldn't however lead us to extreme measures. I for one believe that death sentences should longer have a place in modern society. Twenty years of jail term should be sufficient enough to prove a solid point. The other option of marrying the victim is complete garbage. How do you propose that I live the rest of my life with my violator? How preposterous!

I agree that jail time is a good punishment. The death sentence or marrying the rapist are certainly not good options. The important thing though is what the conditions of the jail are like. If you put a rapist in prison with a bunch of other rapists for 20 years, I think there's a good chance he'll just get worse and repeat his offense when he get outs. If you put him in we gang members and murderers, it would probably be worse yet. There needs to be good rehabilitation programs. Prisoners should be able to work and get more educated to prepare them for a good like, when they get out.
