Prison is meant to be a punishment for breaking the law, the idea is your locked up and have very few rights that includes having fun between the sheets gay or straight. Attempted murder, aggravated robbery, intimidation and theft and if this man was straight he would be entitled to have his wife / girlfriend come and join him every now and again. Israels prisons system is seriously screwed up. Prisoners & even terrorists can take degree courses at taxpayer expense. Conjugal visits for straight people. What happened to good old fashioned sewing mail bags, chain gangs make the prisoners work for their keep? Israel is to weak .. the law allows it but nobody ever gets the death penalty no matter how bad their crime, they can study at tax payer expense, have sex. Yigal Amir was even allowed to get married whilst he was in prison then have her come and pay a visit so they could have a baby. How many other countries in the western world allows that, even in liberal Europe they don't get that. Lets get rid of these secular left wing liberal courts and learn from the US where they have chain gangs and if somebody commits murder then you execute them.. An eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth not go to bed together.

Except for the last line. An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind -- Gandhi. I do believe wholeheartedly that convicts should be in the streets fixing the cities doing hard work so that their fluffy lives off of taxpayers dollars is not unearned.
7. End all such nonsense - gay or straight.....
Andy ,   ramat hasharon   (05.14.09)
that's why they call it "jail."
8. wrong #5

Even in the US there are conjugal visits. It is necessary otherwise you are punishing the wife too which would be unfair. Dont be such a hardliner, one day you will make a mistake and will hope ur judge isnt a harsh one...I think life in prison is better than execution; No death involved...and more suffering. I dont think it cud get any better than that

Kareem Conjugal visits are not necessary. Either the wife waits and stays loyal to her husband until he gets home or they split up conjugal visits don't keep families together they just let the prisoner have a nice little reward every now and again and prison isn't about getting rewards. Yigal Amir wasn't even married when he went to prison whilst he was in prison he got special permission to marry and then have visits so he could have a child. The man is a killer but he is allowed to marry and have kids from prison its stupid. At a time when the school budgets are being slashed why is Marwan Bargouti allowed to take degrees paid for with my tax money ? Wouldn't that money be better invested in schools so we can keep the best minds in the country and develop the give the next generation the best education we can? As for execution being the policy, for some crimes like cold blooded murder then you take a life then society takes yours. Do you not think that Eichman should have been killed? There are some crimes other than genocide which also warrent the death penalty especially if they get things like conjugal visits.

The murderer S.R.Y.(Let his name rot),was given permission to marry by the Rabanut against Halacha,Halacha forbids to marry a woman with whom the man had a romantic relation while she was married to sombody else.The Rabanut violated this rule because they sympathised with the killer of Rabin,and rewarded him for killing an infidel.The Rabanut should be dissolved right away.
