America’s aging prison population is posing challenges for states: People 55 and over made up nearly 1 in 6 prisoners as of 2022, new report says
America’s prison population is growing older at a pace that some experts say is unsustainable.

There really needs to be a mandatory release for prisoners over 90.
Life sentences and multiple consecutive life sentences are stupid and schizoid punishments. Completely disconnected from reality in the pursuit of some ultimate revenge thirst. They have nothing to do with justice.
Most countries have accepted that there needs to be a limit on sentencing. Mostly they settle between 30 and 50 years of imprisonment.
I'm so glad people like you don't get to make decisions like these.
What kind of people are you referring to? People with the mental capacity to be specific in what they say? People who think having triple digit sentences is useless? So glad people like you waste their time with meaningless, vague, and innefective jabs on the Internet instead of bothering people IRL.
They have a better shot at getting health care as a prisoner. 😟
Not really. Have you actually looked into prison health care?
It’s actually sad there is so much truth to this.
No, there really doesn't.
90 is when I plan to go to prison for retirement. Free healthcare, food and shelter. Opposite to here country system will do everything so you don't die there.
We need to normalize the death penalty for extreme criminals like pedos and rapists. Or kick everyone out of Alaska and make it a penal colony. I’m open to both options.
