Life row tougher than death row


Life row tougher than death row

I think it is erroneous for Mark Hughes to claim that this headline is accurate "The man who can't escape death row". Quite clearly, Kenny Richey did escape death row. The problem he has is that he cannot escape life row. In spite of the misconception, life is tougher outside than life inside. My advice to Kenny Richey is get used to it.

The problem I have with John McManus and MOJO, is not that he is incorrect with what he states, but that one of the arguments of incapacitation theory is that prisoners need to be kept in longer to reintegrate them into society by way of a long drawn out process. In effect, they argue that to deinstitutionalise a prisoner it requires institutionalising a prisoner further. As a result of this I served 10 years longer than was really necessary to protect the public.
