    25 year sentences would not even be considered if rehabilitation was the intention. It is a sign of a sick system when we applaud 25 year sentences. The guy is not going to get better help for his mental illness after year 24 than he will get in the first year.

        Why is this thread so full of projection? Why do the people here find it so hard to accept that our prison system is broken?

          You really don’t know what that word means, but dagnabbit you’re not going to let that stop you from using it.

          I’ll make it simple. What do you think is an appropriate response to 2nd degree murder?
