Kyle Berry gets 30 months in prison for killing his neighbors kitten...

My thoughts, unfortunately, are. . .does someone like this ever change? Does prision make any difference other than making him harder and more insane? Will he be psychoanalized or anything? What about the idea that people who kill animals often take it further and continue killing?

He disgusts me, but what will stop him from doing it again when he gets out of prison angrier and more despicable than when he went in? Are his children like him? It's awful!

That's a hard one to answer. My daughter tells me that some guys come out of the system ok, and others don't. I guess that's the way it always will be.
Some people, like Berry, are probably just aggressive and cruel by nature.
Meds sometimes quieten them down, but after they get out, they throw the meds in the bin.
