We could do with ours working like it should instead of being the pamper kind were the criminal is a victim and the victim is a non entity!!!

I have to disagree. If the law in China was working then those men would have never taken that risk. How can a law that strict still fail to act as a deterrent?
The way I see it, they've taken the risk between a life of luxury or no life at all.
In this country you'd take the risk of life of luxury or a life in prison completely alone, probably on suicide watch for the rest of your life, because the inmates would all want you dead for causing the death and serious ill health of so many innocent people.
If nobody can say what the experience of death is like, and it is likely to be complete nothingness, I think the risk is an easier one to take in China than here.
I suppose it depends on how you view prison as a whole though for those who have committed the most heinous of crimes.
