This is what happens when you don't execute criminals. Life without parole means life, and sometimes it's a long one.
Maybe we should spring Kevorkian and let the angel of mercy deal with all these no-longer=dangerous denizens of the California penal system.
Sarcasm.
As a society, we should not murder. But we might weld the damn bars shut and show the daily videotapes to all those schoolchildren who are making a choice between the Crips / Bloods and moral society.
I really don't care if they're dangerous any more. That's not the point. But then it's incumbent upon us to deal with these individuals as they wind down towards death. We need to get them to turn their lives around. They aren't getting out and should not. But they might persuade others not to follow their lead into a criminal life.
