No....

He didn't spend 32 years on "charges", he spent 32 years on a conviction.

All this while people....kids...who have done nothing but their best to stay out of trouble and get decent grades, cant afford to attend college or are saddled with 30 years of debt...

No, I'm OK with job skill training and trades being taught in prisons, but not at the expense of noncriminals who actually are employable in the real world and deserve a chance so they don't end up in prison.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
