I have a hard time to consider life & thought normal with "neutral" emotions.

That's part of the punishment. Personally, I don't want to support a regime that make its citizens pay to "nurse and feed" its worst criminals in prison until they die. I agree with you that dangerous criminals (esp. serial rapists and murderers) should be forced to work for the community. But so should be unemployed people on the dole. We can't place dangerous criminals at the same level as unemployed people ! What's more, nothing but a precise lobotomy can guarantee that these "working criminals" won't escape or cause more problems. I believe that taking their emotions away is a good enough punishment. After all some ordinary people did choose that method to cure their depression (which is far too radical).

I am for rehabilitation of criminals, and for having them pay back society for what they did. The best way I see to have them work in a docile manner, assure that they won't escape and commit more crimes, and punish them all at once, is lobotomy and government work (or any work that could benefit the victims' family if any).

I just don't understand how life in prison is more beneficial to either the criminal in question or society.
