Comments

Timothy L Irwin writes:

The penalty must fit the crime. Murders get more benefits in federal prison then some free citizens! Three square meals a day, how many children in this country can say they get three consistent meals a day? Access to free education, come on really? A newspaper did a comparison report on the living conditions of soldiers stationed at Ft. Sill Ok and the local federal Prison and found the prisoners had better living conditions than our fighting soldier! Enough is enough! Stop spending tax payer dollars on murders and remove them, permanently.
