Sadly, the purpose of prison in the US isn’t to rehabilitate criminals. It’s to provide a cheap labor force and a source of revenue for private prisons.
@CCHGN
You’re wrong. Florida does offer the possibility of early release after a minimum of 85% of the sentence has been served, but it DOES NOT offer parole and hasn’t for over 20 years.
Do you really believe that people are incapable of changing? That once someone commits a crime they are incapable of rehabilitation and deserve to spend their life in prison? Did you legitimately cheer for Javert in Les Miserables?
RaD Nope, they did NOT do away with parole here. And NO, folks who commit murder can NOT be rehabilitated.
@Jcellops …. Florida did way with parole in the mid 90’s.
Finally he gets to go home !!! He’s been trying hard to get the and finally made it a reality!!! Have fun you gonna be home a long time!!!!
RaD. Do you honestly think that these type people will apply themselves to learning a trade other than rape, kill, pillage and burn? The cost of keeping them in is pittance compared to another single victim.
Sounds like he’ll have the possibility of parole at some point. He best be on his very best behavior while he’s locked up though! He should get 20-30 years minimum before consideration for parole.
@NPC …. Is it really the best thing to take a 22 year old and sentence him to prison for the rest of his life? The cost, according to the Department of Corrections, is $76.83/day, or $28K/year. He lives 50 – 60 more years, that will be $1.4M – $1.7M bill for the taxpayers.
Please don’t get me wrong. I am by no means saying slap him on the hand, have him serve 5 years, and let him out. But isn’t there some way to rehabilitate some of these young people, teach them a useful skill/trade, and return them to society in 15 years.
Chalk one up for the judges. They get one of a dozen proper sentenced.
