    This news story is from 2016. Still, unnecessary and tragic.

    Its unbelievable how a mass murderer serves their time, is release and can have a normal life and no one will ever know, but an offender pays for the rest of his life, where is the justice, the US is the only country to have these ugly and insane laws, so your paying for rest of your life

      A house I lived in about 15 years ago, I had a neighbor who kept to himself. One day the police came and knocked on my door. I thought they were coming to arrest ME but instead asked “When was the last time I saw mister XYZ”.

      I told them I hardly ever see him but his lights are always on at night. Come to find out, the guy had been arrested at least 20 times in 20 years for burlaries. But no one notified ME nor any of the neighbors that I was living next to a 20 time repeat serial robber, burglar, thief and shop lifter.

    When I was in jail waiting to go to prison, I lost 38 lbs. We got just 2 meals a day consisting of 2 slices of bread with a thin slice of baloney, a couple of dirty mini carrots and a childs juice box. For breakfast we got a slice of toast, some egg “Product” and a childs milk.

    Asking to see a doctor for anything was like asking the President to pardon you, which was much more likely to happen than to get any medical help from jail staff.
