That's true too. Sure, if he was locked up all these years he wouldn't have killed anybody, and his escapes were from courthouses and jails, not from an actual prison. On the other hand he confessed to more than 30 murders before his execution, so which would be better - keeping him contained or just getting rid of him?

As I said, I'm not sure of my own feelings on this half the time, and I can see the merits of both arguments.
