where can a murderer benefit society?
the army? euthanasia doctor?
This murderer's book on life in prison is a huge contribution to the study of punishment/prison: https://www.ojp.gov/ncjrs/virtual-library/abstracts/life-without-parole-living-and-dying-prison-today
Also, what is the point of imprisonment? Rehabilitation? Revenge? Retribution? Warehousing people?
What was the parole board's rationale? What is the difference between harsh punishment and smart punishment? (key theme of this guy's work that influenced our constitution https://www.britannica.com/biography/Cesare-Beccaria)?
Also, does Gator have any money? Who is bank rolling his trips to the commissary? If released what will he do for work? Will be a preacher like Hosoi or will he actually have to work for a living?
I don't have an answer to any of these questions.
Bumping a month old thread, but from what I read he has a job waiting for him as a legal aid. I don’t know about this one, I don’t want to touch it. I’m all for prison reform, second chances and rehabilitation, but this one is tough.. i do not know the guy, I came up in skateboarding around a lot of the old pro legends/icons and it seems that the majority of them believe that gator deserves a second chance and that what he did is truly not who he is (that’s pretty hard to fathom though because he did commit those heinous and disgustingly horrible crimes) But like I said, I don’t know the guy and rape, along with murdering a defenseless woman is definitely a non-forgivable offense.. so I’m going to go with “no”. He probably dosent deserve the second chance morally speaking. But the court’s conviction and sentencing in his case did leave the chance for parole when they sentenced him, (life with the possibility of parole in 25 to 30 years, so not life without parole) not that that makes him deserve that chance.
Side note, that first link was a good read lurper, the second link you posted dosent work anymore unfortunately….
