36. And if a person dies in prison, erroneously being sentenced to spend the rest of it behind bars...

Can that be reversed?

Hell, not just life sentences.

“Our federal prisons are starting to resemble nursing homes surrounded with razor wire,” said Julie Stewart, president and founder of Families Against Mandatory Minimums. “It makes no sense fiscally, or from the perspective of human compassion, to incarcerate men and women who pose no threat to public safety and have long since paid for their crime. We need to repeal the absurd mandatory minimum sentences that keep them there.”

And these are just the ones lucky enough to actually get some form of medical care. Standards vary, quite a lot, depending on the prison. It's a life sentence, until your health starts to fail. Then it's a death sentence. A slow. And, depending on what ails a person, a potentially painful one.

This is the system that many here are advocating in favor of. A system where people are tossed into a metal cage, and left to die. And people somehow think this is the 'moral' alternative?

That is why everyone here is being hypocritical. Because, at the end of the day, everyone patting themselves on the back over how good they are for 'sparing' this person doesn't actually give a damn about their life. In reality, they want this person to live... for no other reason so that they can continue to suffer.
