I'm a believer in "you do the crime, you do the time". But, realistically, if you're 75 and can't even remember your own name, I seriously doubt that you're going to go round killing folks and holding up convenience stores. And seeing as it costs so much to house these inmates, maybe outsourcing them to some sort of secured nursing home would be the best thing to do.

Then a white woman kill his husband and caused the suicide of another man got 25 years in prison.
This is where out problem is coming from.

May I raise some questions about elderly prisoners and the obamacare death panels?
The question becomes, "are prisoners exempted from the death panel requirements of the obamacare law?"

The best solution for the problem I think is to let them go home to be taken care of by their family.

Yeah, but he was old when he was caught. I agree with you in this case. The deterrent needs to be there in order to stop people from doing such horrible things. But, if he were in prison for years upon years and got dementia and physical ailments of a severe degree, there is no reason to not move the person to a care home type setting. Heck, they still don't have freedom in this environment. It just means you don't have to have all the security measures and associated costs to stop them from escaping. Merely walk at a regular pace and you will outmaneuver them.

Its like trying to "fix" walmart. Nothing can be done! Walmart comes into a city and all the small businesses go under. Its not something thats preventable or fixable.

The prison system is a business so its going to stay the way it is. The more ppl that get locked up for years the more the share holders make. Its not something that can be fixed because the people that run them are powerful wealthy people.
