Half his adult less than that actually

Personally I’d have kept his in till his 50s

It’s ridiculous sentencing disparities

Sentences assigned for crimes across the US are not proportionate to the seriousness of the crime or the associated violence, injury and risk to the victims.
Sentencing guidelines obviously developed as a hodgepodge not via a top down, rational process.
Making sentencing more equitable would punish the most serious crimes very severely in an effortt to deter crime and remove threats to the population.
Some sentences are ridiculously light ex. for rape, torture, negligent homicide, especially DUI. Others seem excessive when additional fines and restitution would do more to make the victim whole.
Sometimes it seems that theft of $ is punished more severely than murder, rape or torture even of children unless committed by a favored group, such as Somali.
