The jail is a jail. It ruins you for life and there is no turning back. Once in jail the lives change overnight and the thinking of the person also change dramatically. The abuse a peron has to tolerate in a jail is simply inhuman.

So you must agree that 20 years in prison is still not enough for killing 3 girls. Execution would mean immediate relief from suffering while now he has to suffer for 20 long years.

20 years for 3 lives seems a bit light to me, that's a bit over 6 years for each. It was noted there was expression of remorse and cooperation from the perpetrators, other mitigating circumstances may play a role. I'd have sought more jail time, 30 or more years, but there comes a point where longer terms add nothing. I think we ought to sentence until rehabilitation, regardless of the crime.
