I'm not sure if this has already been discussed so I'm just to go give it a shot...

What should be done with Dzhokhar Tsarnaev?

He should be put in jail for the rest of his life.

I agree. A lot of people want to see his head on a silver platter, but that would only create a Martyr among radical Muslims and other terrorists who share his radical views, especially in the Caucuses.
 
Given a fair trial and then sentenced if found guilty. Easy answer
 
If found guilty, I see no reason for us tax payers to continue paying for his incarceration. Whether he is alive or dead, if the terrorist wish to use him a martyr or a symbol for rallying against America, they will.

Why "preferably maximum security"? It's some dumbass kid who bought into his older brother's psychosis. It's not like he's a danger to other inmates or capable of daring escape. It's not like the piece crap is Hannibal Lector.

For his own protection, he'll be in solitary for the rest of his life.

I don't think the level of prison security matters.

No, not soliary confinement for the rest of his life. I find that horribly cruel. Really. Horribly cruel. I wish he could be segregated from prisoners, though, so as not to "find his calling" to be converting others to Radical Islam.

Notice, I made a statement of fact, not a recommendation. I've no interest in cruelty, but that guy wouldn't last a minute in general pop, let alone worse blocks.

If he's not in solitary he'll be shanked within a week.

Estimates are that 20% of our prison population is Muslim. He's young. He's not bad looking. It may depend on who marries him. ;)
 
Yeah, if he is in general population, someone will try something and you can only stop so much going on a block.
 
If he's found guilty then execute him. Preferably slowly and painfully.
 
I regard execution as the punishment of choice for someone undoubtedly guilty of an act that has destroyed so many lives.

I really don't think there's any moral high ground to advocating life imprisonment in which other convicts are going to dole out the "justice" that a public can't but will silently or quite vocally agree with.
 
How bout just a regular prison? He is a kid.. A dumbass kid.
 
He's an adult who made a decision to actively take part in a vicious, cowardly crime.

Actions, meet consequences.

So? Why not just lock him up in a regular prison. Its not like he was part of a larger cell or anything.
 
Wow.

Why do people make polls with unreasonable answers?

I hope he's executed if he's found guilty. I don't care where they house his dumb ass while he's waiting to die.

He killed a kid, those ****ers get killed in prison.

If the State can produce the evidence to prove his guilt to a jury of his peers; then how many died? That many charges for 1st degree murder. How many were injured? That many charges for aggravated assault, attempted murder, etc. Probably would come out to be life in prison without parole.

Shove a stick of dynamite up his ***, light, and enjoy the show. I'd even watch it on pay-per-view with the proceeds going to the victims.

I've never agreed with you before. I actually almost rethought my opinion on this issue as a result of agreeing with you...

However, I see the death penalty as satisfying the same carnal lust on the part of the American society that was exhibited by these terrorists. Just a different misguided justification for killing people.

He's young. He should never be released. He should be placed in a security setting appropriate for his propensity to escape... which seems to be pretty high. He drove into the gunfire of police and over the body of his brother to escape last time. I certainly don't think he's a minimal security risk. But behavior in prison should dictate whether or not you are isolated from human contact. Otherwise, and inmate has nothing to lose.

Just treat him like any other mass murderer.

I'm glad we haven't quite devolved this much just yet.
