    Crazy how people think someone guilty of killing people should be granted release. How should they be afforded remaining years of comfort while their victims didn’t? 15 years isnt even enough for murder, a whole life gone and family effected. Yet hey if they are old, let them out.

    Elder parole is about the dumbest thing I have heard yet! When that person is sentenced to “life in prison without the possibility of parole” it is just that…spend the rest of your life in prison. Period. Death Penalty is no longer in force or effect so, you as you have taken a life, you forfeit yours in a free society and are rightfully incarcerated. Now, because the incarcerated person is getting old and infirm we now have to have compassion for them due to their age victims be damned. To them I say, you were sent to prison for life due to your heinous crimes, the heinousness of that crime has not diminished in the years that have passed

    We understand that people change and restorative justice teaches us that more harm doesn’t undo past harm. Many of those who have spent decades in prison have truly changed and deserve a second look, something that is absolutely the parole board’s job.

    I am looking for assistance for a federal inmate who has a life sentence. He’s been in prison since he was 19 years old and is now in his 60’s. He has a parole hearing on October 2021, and we are desperately looking for someone to assist him with this hearing. Do you know of anyone that I can contact for assistance for this gentleman I’m trying to assist? He doesn’t have any money, and not much family. I’m doing some leg work for him, pro bono cause — sometimes you just have to help those who can’t help themselves. Your time is appreciated greatly!

    They are more productive living in society working for and contributing to society than behind bars with us paying there way …

    If prisons are supposed to reform, it seems that taxpayers are being ripped off by a system that has failed miserably.
