The sad thing is after 10 years in prison he'll probably end up a killer.
Our penal system is terrible. It is complete ass and should be redone in a manner to make criminals who spend life in prison be able to be productive members of society while isolated from all but their families.

There was an episode of CSI that showed prisoners manning the phones for mail order catalog companies. Gotta wonder how true that was.

In the current state, what is the average cost, per inmate? Isn't like close to 50k or more in most states? This is for the current substandard level of "care, whatever, etc" that they are currently receiving. To do what you want, we need to spend close to 100k or more (at the bare minimum) per inmate.

On fighting violent crime and redoing the justice system to enable more work release programs and punishments that fit the crime. We need to lose the mentality of pushing everyone en masse into the drive thru pound me in the ass solution that is complete ass.

No extenuatiing circumstances, no plea bargin, possibly an (singular) appeal, but if a jury is convinced "beyond a shadow of a doubt" that you are guilty of taking another persons life in malice then you are done. I don't care who you are, how much money you have, or what. You pull the trigger you die. Crime of passion=death. If you are so out of control that you don't realize "Hey this guy might die if I continue to pound his head into the pavement", then you are a mad dog and should be put down like any other rabid animal. Accessory to murder should be 25+ years. Some would say, "but what about those people that are just in the wrong place at the wrong time. He was jsut driving the getaway car". Well to that I respond, Life is a bitch aint it? Sometimes bad things just happen especially when you do stupid shit. No amount of whining and pleading is going to change that. The next guy may have enough sense to look around and say "Hey this looks like a bad place, maybe I better not do this"
