Here is my comment on Hosniyeh’s post about the state’s prison spending.
For the most part I agree with your point of view on this manner and I believe that the economic status of the state will improve. If an inmate is too sick to take care of himself, then what is the point of prison if the inmate poses no threat to society? This only increases the costs to run the prison and we as tax payers are the ones who suffer the most. I believe that these elderly and ill inmates can be sent home to their families under parole and if they do anything wrong then the state will surely have no trouble placing them back in prison. If someone has been incarcerated since they were 21 years old and is now elderly and sick, doesn’t the state think that serving a whole life sentence is just too extreme? However I do believe that if someone is not under any life threatening issues than they should not be granted this parole because they might just do something unpredictable that might endanger others.
