Criminal Justice - short writting- Plea bargaining

Between 2002 and 2004, Ariel Castro kidnapped three young women and held them prisoner in his Cleveland, Ohio home. Held against their will for ten years, the women were beaten, raped, and starved. In May 2013, one of the women screamed for help when she saw neighbors through a screen door. Hours later, the two other women were rescued and Castro was arrested. Over the course of two months, 977 charges were brought against Castro including kidnapping, rape, and aggravated murder for the intentional induction of five miscarriages. Castro pled guilty to 937 of the 977 charges in a plea bargain that spared him the death penalty.

As we noted in Chapter 10, prosecutors, defense attorneys, and defendants often agree to plea bargains, in which the prosecutor and the defense work out a mutually satisfactory agreement that is subject to court approval. In this case, Castro pled guilty to the kidnapping, rape, and aggravated murder charges in exchange for consecutive life sentences, plus 1,000 years with no eligibility for parole. He subsequently committed suicide while in prison. Conduct some independent research on this case. Considering what you have learned about plea bargaining in Chapter 10 (Criminal justice by siegel) , please answer the following:

How could a man in a urban area kidnap and hold 3 women against their will for 10 years? Was this case an example of the effective use of plea bargaining? Explain.
