Lock up up the bad people, tread the mad

Perry Samuel drowned his two children in the bath after they had watched fireworks with him. Today he was locked up for a minimum of 35 years for this terribel act. Samuel suffers from manic depression, and had been having relationship problems with his wife, the mother of the two children.

Terrible that this act was, I fail to see how it is justified to lock someone who is clearly sick for 35 years. This man needs treatment - isn't that obvious to any thinking person? He's clearly sick, not evil. Nothing will bring the children back, no even 35 years in prison for a madman. Why can't a judge and a prosecutor this is a pointless imprisoning for someone who needs can't be served by our hopeless prison services.
