They were sentenced to 20 years for first degree murder? If they had killed an "important" person I'm sure the sentence would have been more severe.
Even the best prisons have the potential to turn violent. Correction officers and indeed wardens have suffered from this violence as well as inmates. I believe the award is unjust.
I do not believe drug dealers are the same caliber person as murderers and rapists. They should not be housed in the same prisons.
I agree with you, nick. But, because the prisons are so full, I don't think they will ever follow your advise.
Some drug dealers are very violent people. Drug users are a different breed of cat.
