[QUOTE="donna723, post: 262063, member: 1883"] I haven't been able to read through all the replies, but each case must be taken on its own merit ... although on a murder charge, dead is dead, no matter how they got that way or how old the person was who did it. In the correctional facility where I work, we've seen some do ten years or even less, while others end up doing life for the same thing. And I've seen lots of these middle-aged 'lifers' who are here because they did something very, very stupid when they were very, very young, sometimes with a drug or alcohol problem at the time. And years later, many of them aren't even the same person as they were when they committed the crime - they've matured and grown, settled down, got an education while in prison. There's no reason they couldn't become a responsible, law abiding member of society ... but it's never gonna happen! We have a few that I wouldn't mind if they moved in next door to me! [/QUOTE]
