If the perp is NOT insane, then I'd say for murdering 2 kids, they should get either death, or life in prison—no getting out except in a box, period, not ever—I'm fine with life in prison with no parole instead of the death penalty, but I do think they should have no "perks" in prison (no TV, radio, etc). There is some chance >0 that they will kill again. Having murdered, they lose any benefit of the doubt from ME, anyway. I'll never trust they are rehabilitated. Never.

In the case of someone insane, I think the same rules apply. They might be treatable, but they could possibly relapse. Since a relapse could mean more dead, tough, they need to be incarcerated for life. What type of facility I'm open to debate about, but she should never walk the streets again.
That's pretty much how I see it...and posted two posts prior
