so what should society do with them?

Susan Atkins (Sharon Tate's killer) had cancer and tried to get out of prison on compassionate grounds. I think it's the right thing to keep them incarcerated. There was no compassion shown to the pregnant woman and her unborn child, part of the punishment is life, means you are in for life.

I actually admire your justice system, the way that you lock them up and throw away the key.
