Berkowitz understood what he did was wrong. Reminds me of Manson’s lieutenant, “Squeaky” who has consistently refused to exercise her parole options while the real killers keep trying to get out. She never killed anyone, but still chooses to remain in jail. Meanwhile the murderers keep doing one hearing after another and Atkins tried to get compassionate release for her brain cancer.
We could always deport her to Libya. :)
But that aside, a medical parole should never be granted. Incarcerated persons can and should receive reasonable levels of medical care so that they cannot use medical reasons as an excuse to be let out of prison.
