There have been many instances of criminals fleeing jails... in many countries...sometimes due to fire and sometimes of natural disasters... there should not be any iota of chance... for a criminal to repeat his crime... especially of pedos & rapist...

It makes much less sense to keep a person in jail away from the society like a zoo animal...

MM by your yardstick... if we have no right to take away life of the criminal... neither do we have the right to take away his liberty...
