I know.

His pension contributions could perhaps be given to her family as some sort of compensation for the loss they have suffered. Possible including funeral expenses??
Ah, here we go. He has done incalculable evil, he deserves what he gets, a poor girl's life is lost forever, her family will hurt for the rest of their lives, etc etc etc ... but giving them some money will be 'some sort of compensation'. Compensation, how exactly? Will the money replace the girl? Or will knowing they have deprived him of it make them feel better? That's the sort of petty vindictiveness I was talking about earlier.

Awww what a shame he will have to find a new career. I find it amazing that on countless occassions people like you empathizes with the perpetrator rather than the victim shame shame on you
I am unashamed. Nor are those who have campaigned for prison reforms, or legislation like the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act, which establishes that it is right and proper for someone to serve a sentence for their crime and then be able to start over without getting persecuted for the rest of their life.

Like it or loathe it, we don't live in the sort of country you seem to want to live in. If you really do want that sort of draconian, pre-Victorian criminal justice system, judging from the things you've said here, then you could emigrate to one of the wonderful middle eastern countries where they still practice it. And while you're there, hope and pray that you don't commit the kind of reckless, one-off act of stupidity that lands you in a cesspool of a prison for the rest of your life.
