Simply revolting.
As if the parole of that faux-revolutionary scum-bag (and that's a charitable description of this repugnant woman), Kathy Boudin, weren't enough.
As if the unjustified pardon by 'Der Slickenstein' of Susan Rosenberg weren't enough.
Now we have to look forward to encountering this cretinous wretch roaming the streets of New York.
Let's see, you off two police officers, plan numerous bombings/terrorist assaults, abuse your spouse and murder your child.
Tell me again why David Berkowitz is still incarcerated in a N.Y. state penitentiary?
You're right. The judicial system has let some monsters out early, unfortunately. Steinberg's release in particular, is a reality horror show. They'd have had to think it up at some point if it hadn't happened. PC gone berserk. I was watching a cable special A&E, on maximum security prisons and sensory deprivation. Claustrophobic is the least of it. Little or no human contact, even for some extremely violent juveniles in one prison. Prisons designed to deprive inmates of natural light.
The prisons are cheaper, but with our PC laws, inmates will be released into society sooner or later, 19 years, I think they said, and they will have been psychologically damaged so badly, they won't be able to live in society without 'reoffending'. Don't you just love that word! We're driving them nuts in jail, then letting them out to be nuts on the street.
There were scientific studies years ago, where they put infant monkeys in single cages, kept them from other monkeys, and they went mad. The monkeys. The max. prison idea seems very Nazi-like, architects paid for out of public funds drawing up plans to force prisoners to undergo personality change through long terms incarceration under these conditions, cruel and unusual (one inmate got out and sued, won $660,000 with ramifications for other states), through psychological torture rather than physical beatings.
The wardens acted defensive (they're not stupid) and said prisoners were given the choice to change or not, what -- change or go nuts? But other than force feeding violent criminals some kind of valium like personality change pill, what can states do? Esp. if capital punishment is off the table.
This turd Steinberg roams free while some poor black guy from the ghetto----a three-time loser----who stole a loaf of bread to feed his family is incarcerated for life.
