I think the public at large is more than willing to pay the money required to keep someone dangerous off the streets, and yes it is our money through our taxes we are talking about.

I think what many are concerned about here is will this young girl be a danger when she is turned out in the streets, 6 years from now. If she proves to be dangerous, then I think most will be willing to pay for her reincarceration.
Well, obviously, I disagree with you - I think the vast majority of Canadians would freak out over an increase in their taxes even if they were told it was to keep every single person convicted of muder in Canada in a jail for the rest of their lives. That would be a pretty big increase in taxes, I'd have to assume.
