The problem with statements like these are that they should only apply to the most awful acts… This is not one of them.

During college, I took some classes that had to do with the justice system. Did you know that after about 2 years in prison, cognitive ability to function declines and reduces one’s ability to function normally in society? After 3-5 years, institutionalization begins and they simply won’t be able to handle it, statistically speaking.

So when people start barking for extended times, remember that people can change and learn but not if they are locked up for 15+ years.
