Victim Voices: Candy Ruff

March 2, 2010

“Because my brother was murdered in 1982, I am often asked if I want his perpetrator to be punished with the death penalty. My unequivocal answer is NO. My faith confirms my belief that the person who took my brother’s life will pay for his crime in the here after. The punishment the Lord has in mind is much harsher than anything our legal system could inflict on earth. However, I truly believe that death by imprisonment is the best alternative. And the incarceration should take place in an isolated institution that allows the guilty person one-hour recreation outdoors and 23 hours inside and all alone. Besides, arriving at a Pro-life political position included life at its beginning and its ending.”
