He should get no more than 30 days in Supermax then his life sentence should end. we need a new sentence, a Short Life sentence. It is cruel to keep a criminial in prison for a long time.

In Stalin’s USSR there was - for a time - a law that said no person could be sentenced to more than 10 years imprisonment. And it was for the reason you said.

So any crime deserving of more than 10 years in jail became a capital offense instead.

In practice, people were often kept in prison for decades. Once their 10 year sentence was almost up, they’d be tried on a new trumped-up charge, and then get 10 more years.

Oh, if he really is willing to talk about Democrats he’d paid off previously a short life sentence seems like it could happen.
