  1. Are there no any possible injections that could deteriorate the bodies of this evil pipo in prison cells….. Tavuka nawo wanthu awaa… They deserve to die…..

  2. Prisons don’t equip prisoners with some simple practical work like mechanics, carpentry, building, plumbing, etc so that when they go out of prison, can have their own business and contribute to the society by employing others and at the same time supporting themselves and their families. Otherwise they will be tempted to commit crime again if there is nothing to do outside. Unfortunately corruption and poor funding is an obstacle to such projects according to my view.
