Comments
I can't believe this bill has been killed. If these prisoners are no threat to society, no prior record, etc. why don't they let someone that made a bad choice a second change. Especially a 61 year old man. There are blind prisoners in prison, prisoners with no legs, what are they going to do?
There are people out on the streets a lot worst than some of these prisoners!!
Look at Conrad Murray that killed Michael Jackson (they say he did not intend to, but left him unattended) and he will most likely get house arrest. This is so wrong!!!
