Naturally, an individual like Paravinja cannot be cured or rehabilitated; that isn't even what prison is for. The purpose is to isolate him and lock him away to prevent further crimes.

Look, I get that rehabilitation isn't the primary goal of the penal system, and honestly, I doubt any institution out there could actually change someone like him... but I also can't help thinking a death penalty might actually be more humane than life in prison. At the end of the day, society wouldn't be losing much; we just need him gone.

I know I’m probably going to get roasted for saying this,
but when you look at cases like Paravinja, I honestly think the death penalty is the most humane option available—
both for the individual and for everyone else out there... because let’s be real, it’s highly unlikely someone like that would ever actually come "rehabilitated" from prison or some state facility, which means they'd just stay a threat to society... and even if they did have some sudden moment of clarity or enlightenment later on, I doubt they could even live with themselves after what they did (assuming they even became "normal"), so I guess I see it as the only real solution..
