He would have awakened half the jail, including at least one guard.

You slit the guy's throat to remove the ability to scream and then if you still feel the need you are free to go to town cutting the guy up.

Canada's infamous serial killer Clifford Olson is dead


In 1981, Olson was arrested and eventually confessed to killing 11 children in B.C

Clifford Olson, the so-called "Beast of British Columbia" and one of Canada's most infamous serial murderers, has died.

Olson's death was confirmed by the Correctional Service of Canada in a release Friday afternoon.

"On September 30, 2011, Clifford Olson, an inmate from the Regional Reception Centre . . . died of apparent natural causes," the release read. "At the time of his death, M. Olson was at the institutional Health Care Centre of the Archambault Institution in Sainte-Anne-des-Plaines."

Terry Bizeau, mother of 15year-old Terri Lyn Carson, one of Olson's victims, said she received a call from Corrections Canada informing her of Olson's death.

It was learned on Sept. 21 that Olson was dying of cancer with only days or weeks to live, according to families of Olson's victims, who were given the news by Corrections Canada officials.

In 1981, Olson was arrested and eventually confessed to killing 11 children in British Columbia. He was convicted and sentenced to life in prison.

"There's a weight lifted off of my shoulders, a 30-year weight," said Bizeau on Friday.

"I don't want to talk about it anymore. I've had it. I don't care. I'm finished. That's it."

Olson, 71, had been serving time in a maximum-security prison in Sainte-Anne-des-Plaines, Que., but the mother of one of his victims said Sept. 21 she had been told he was transferred to a Montreal-area hospital.

Sharon Rosenfeldt said upon learning of the cancer diagnosis that she was in shock after being told Olson "is expected to pass away in the next few days."

She said Correctional Service of Canada Commissioner Don Head told her Sept. 20 that Olson's cancer had metastasized. "I'm trying to come to terms with the feelings of our family," Rosenfeldt said from Ottawa.

"I spoke with all of my family last night and we all have mixed emotions about it," she said. "My son summed it up by saying, 'Mom, even though he's going to die - we still don't have Daryn.'"

Olson reportedly lured his victims - eight girls and three boys between the ages of nine and 18 - with the promise of a job, then drugged, tortured and sexually assaulted them before killing them and dumping their bodies.

Olson's sixth and youngest victim, Simon Partington, who was abducted, raped and strangled, was just nine years old.

Arrested on Aug. 12, 1981, Olson pleaded guilty the following year, making a controversial deal with the RCMP that saw his wife and son paid $100,000 in return for him leading investigators to the bodies.

In August 1997, after serving 15 years of his sentence, Olson requested early parole under the "faint hope clause."

At the time, prison psychiatrists stated Olson showed no remorse for the murders, has since claimed to have committed anywhere from 80 to 200 murders, and would be likely to kill again.

Until 2010, Olson re-applied several times for early parole and was repeatedly denied.

Last year, Olson said he would never apply for parole again.

During his time in prison, Olson wrote book manuscripts and was permitted to make a video series, which he titled Motivational Sexual Homicide Patterns of Serial Child Killer Clifford Robert Olson.

In the videotapes, of which there are about a dozen, Olson describes the perverse criminal acts he performed on his victims.

Thank you. I'm a big Steve Landesberg fan.

Go to the comments section on any story of somebody going to prison and marvel at the number of people who hope the prisoner is going to be raped. Sometimes I think we should just bring back the stocks and give up any pretense that we treat prisoners civilly.

There always has been a vitriolic minority. With the anonymity of the 'net, they have the forum coward's crave.

Prisons are generally a failure. Yes, there are some extremely bad people in prisons, some of them are even convicts. But many are white collar criminals, or people who grew their own pot, or people who committed property crimes, etc. In Canada the Feds are in the process of passing an omnibus crime bill that has the potential to double the prison population. And they plan to build more prisons. Our crime rates have been going down in Canada since the mid 90s, so the conservative have decided to make more things illegal and make sentences longer.Their hoped for results - more arrests and conictions ergo they are tough on crime.

[notyoueither]

There is always the possibility that keeping people inclined to commit crimes in prison for longer (or at all) will further reduce the crime rate, which is still not as low as it was prior to the surge in the 60s-70s BTW.

Not really a death penalty, more like bad Karma got to him.
