I thought you wanted to keep them locked up forever.

"You have to wonder why they haven't had a little leniency on them to let them go home? My heart bleeds for them.

I don't say more laws. I say enforce the laws that make sense. I say, don't move the line. Here's the line. You cross it, this will happen. Not, this to this. This, will happen to you. Period. You done crossed that line.

That's off the subject. We having aging prisoners.
WHen they were put in, maybe it was expected they would live "X" amount of years. They're living "Y".
What about them?

[DouseAuthott]

Tried as an adult? As opposed to what?

I don't think that in my entire life that I've been called eloquent.

[SzefciuCba]

let them out and send them to Texas. Worse than any prison.

the jails are overcrowded because of the drug war

It is good that they´re still locked away. Society has to be protected from them.

You never know what harm these old people can do to innocent citizens, with their wheelchairs and crutches Like drain my social security!

Cripes. I'm closer to 60 than 40. How in the hell....
WINSTON! You were supposed to be keeping me informed.

[Dumpishchaism]

Maybe some of them are in for one of the first drug wars the US government fought.

The one called the prohibition

This is a shitty deal. People can change. I've never committed a crime, but I know I'm a lot wiser now than I was even 3 years ago. I'd hate to be judged and remembered forever by how I acted when I was 22. I'm only 25 now.

Be it for the greater good or otherwise, it's still a shitty deal. Don't think that someone who has committed a crime isn't worthy of compassion, and don't think that compassion is a limited resource which must be strictly rationed (by that I mean: "ZOMG care not for the victim?!!". No. Care for Both.)

Why not just turn New Jersey into one massive prison and send 'em all there? Cruel and unusual punishment is illegal.

It's not the old farts of today who'll be giving your problems. It's people like me -- the old folks of tomorrow -- who'll be doing you in. Nonsense, who do you think your doctors will be?

Oi! There's nowt wrong with New Jersey!

[CamVideoQl]

As much as I am not a fan of NJ, once you get away from the northeast part of the state and some of the other bad coastal areas, NJ has quite a lot of beautiful areas.

It doesn't make a lot of sense to pay for medium or maximum scurity for inmates incapable of escape.

the logical solution is to move older inmates to minimum security prisons. But in the case of high profile mobsters, even if they can't escape, other people could get them out. they should remain in maximum security. Yeah, I can agree with that. I'm no bleeding heart so their age causes me no sympathy, I'm just looking at it from a practicality POV. There are better things to spend tax money on than guarding the feeble.
