If someone truly has dementia and can't remember anything, then they are basically a different person than the person that committed the crimes. Keeping them in prison is a big waste of money.

The problem is that many of those people don't even have someone outside to take care of them. This might sound insane, but some elderly are better in prison than being freed. Some don't even realize they are on prison.

The problem isnt that the prisoners are getting old.....thats just common sense. The problem is that Americas prison system is totally ineffective. Other developed countries have prisons that actually rehabilitate offenders and turn them into productive members of society but the US just cant seem to handle that kind of responsibility. As a result, we are paying billions per year for something that doesnt work. Americans should be furious about this.

1Fom thank you, I wasn't suggesting he didn't deserve to be there I am saying I would prefer prisoners use their time to better them selves and if that is helping elderly or disabled prisoners then that's what I would hope prison reforms are about. There is not point in locking people up and leave them with nothing to do. Prison is not designed to teach the prisoner about why he chose this life but perhaps prisoners learn to help others instead of being self obsessed . Anyway I meant it as a comment not a debate but maybe we should debate what prison reform is about . Xox

Keep in mind that for-profit prisons make up an incredibly small percentage of all prisons. This doesn't change the fact that private-run prisons is a total disgrace, but the amount of for-profit prisons has been drasticly blown out of proportion and sensationalized. That being said, I'm of the belief that for-profit/private/corporation run prisons should be outlawed.

Stephen B, I can write a book about it. No, I never got raped if you’re trying to be funny about it. I did have an old man come onto me verbally. I was from the streets, my charge was an Armed Robbery. I was one of the most notorious criminals in my city at that time. A top member of the most violent gang in the city, in the newspapers often. So of course, this old man picked the wrong one. I beat the crap out of him, without him touching me. This happened during my first week. In the orientation unit. Life inside prison is a different world. With a new set of rules. There are rules to every single thing you do(e.g. using the toilet, approaching two men talking, etc), and you better catch on quick, or you won’t make it. Once I left the Orientation Unit, I was moved to a STG(Security Threat Group) Unit. When gang members came to question me for the first time, huddled in a U-shape around me. I told them I had no affiliation to prison gangs, but I am a gang member. I lied at the same time, I was a Vice Lord, but I didn’t want to rotate with them. I’m not the type of man to put in work for another man that I don’t know, just because we’re both under the same gang. Inside of prison, you start at the bottom, and move up in ranks. The bottom is where you have to do most of the dirt, to move up. I wasn’t with that. So they asked what street gang I was with. I told them the name, one of the men looked deep into my eyes squinting his. He asked if I was from Fort Wayne with a smile. Caught by surprise I answered, “yeah!” He stated that he knew my people, from doing time behind bars. He then began to name them, and which facilities they were in together. I finally felt at ease. The names he mentioned, were some savage men, doing serious time. I knew they had to be respected in prison. I stuck to myself, mainly in my cell. I’ve never been social around strangers. Always kept a straight face. You have to realize, I’ve probably been in more firefights than some war veterans. When other inmates look at you, you have to know how to look back at them. Let the eyes, and body talk for you. It can determine if they’ll extort, rob, rape, or take advantage of you some way. You don’t just want to go out and make friends. That can be a very dangerous thing. Being anti-social worked in my favor for that environment, so did my conduct. The guy who knew my friends would walk up to me, make small talk. Until eventually we became pretty good friends I would say. After my celly built his profile on me, he trusted me enough to show his cell phone. In which I was amazed, he said that if I paid the bill, I could use it anytime. A deal I was more than happy to accept. I got my first job soon after being idle. Working grave shift at the hospital, as a janitor. I worked with a group of gentlemen that I’ll never forget in my life. Memories and words I’ll carry with me forever. They took me in as a little brother, they were all grown men of character. Very articulate and wise. I for the first time in prison, let my guard down around other men. I loved going to work, just to be in their presence. It was an actual escape from prison life. Once I gained their trust, they filled me in on the ins and outs. The affairs with nurses, contraband smuggling, etc. We all became very very close. After about 6 months or so of working at the hospital. I decided I needed to go to school for a sentence reduction. So I had to quit my job. I hated that I didn’t get to see them as often. Soon, I started running into folks from my city. I didn’t know majority of them, they all knew of me. Until a few members from my city gang began to appear. My reputation began to grow bigger, all with a word of mouth from others, and my conduct. I started to get acquainted more and more with the shot callers. Discovering all of the corruption and hustles. Until I got my own corrupt correctional officer dropping off packages of illegal contraband weekly. My release date was sad, it was the end of a journey from State institutions. I still had a Federal retainer on me I had to deal with. I went through the same release procedure as everyone else. There are two gates to come in and leave prison. Only one may be open at a time. As guards escorted me for the walk to the gates, I stared at the white Jeep waiting in-between the two gates. As the gate opened, two federal agents stepped out of the vehicle. One opened a Manila envelope, showed me a warrant for my arrest. The other took shackles, out of the back. I was then shackled and escorted to my next journey. Since my release 6 years ago, I haven’t been back. Can’t recollect the exact rate of recidivism. I believe it’s as high as 80%. I’ve beaten the odds so far, and I’m very proud of it. I would rather be homeless in the real world. Than do the same amount of years inside of prison. The hardest thing about prison was being constantly surrounded by knuckleheads. It’s almost unbearable, because you have to live with them, for all of your stay. That fight I spoke of in State was my only one there. Feds was a different story, you have members from all 50 states in one prison. Additionally, from other countries. Nobody knows who you are unless you are big time. All you have to show them is paperwork about your case.

You know, it’s proven that if a child is born in a high stress environment. That child most likely will be violent. Even a fetus is impacted by it. I didn’t get to chose how I was born. I was born into war. That’s all I knew. My only escape was education and knowledge.

Some people do bad things it doesn't always mean they are a bad person. I think in the USA where it's acceptable to carry guns it must be very easy to pull out a gun almost in impulse and shoot someone without even thinking about it. It's something we don't have much of in the UK. One impulsive action and your life is messed up. In UK they say if you carry a knife yourself you more likely to be stabbed. I wonder if the same goes with guns. Maybe your more likely to put yourself in a dangerous situation because a false sense of security.

Most residents in nursing homes also don't get to leave the facility either so they may as well be in prison. They should not get released from prison just because they are elderly because their victims didn't even get a chance to become elderly. Those who are elderly who did not commit violent crimes and are now so incapacitated they are no longer a risk to society are the only ones who should be considered for release.

They are getting what they deserve by paying for their crimes in jail. Now unless the system is going to kill these people (death penalty), they are going to need care when they can't take care of themselves. And of course you don't use death penalty for just any reason. It is good to have Gold Coats to care for these indivuduals. No one is dead until they are dead, so they will need care. This is something to think about for those who are incarcerated for life without parole.

My father was arrested and spent two days in jail while he was doing at home hospice care and getting ready to die. He had Parkinson's, Dementia, and could not walk. They screamed at him because he wet his pants(he no longer had any control.) and died two weeks after he was released. He was arrested on a warrant that was issued 22 years ago for driving while suspended. This is ridiculous, prison is not a nursing home.

Mr. White It leads to a lower crime rate overall leading to it costing less. Also without the death penalty and keeping prisoners in for a less amount of time then the overall cost is less. You say that shit, but what they do leads to less civilian deaths and a overall higher quality of life. You just want prisoners to be treated like shit, and by doing so when they get out they commit crimes again. This has RESULTS. Quit getting a hardon for America's fucked up prison system and look to actually save lives.

@Ryan Anderson that makes no sense. IQ is rough estimate towards the average intelligence of people of the same age. With 100 being the average. So if you killed everyone below 115, then tested again those same people would have an IQ of less than 100. Also IQ isn't a great measure of ability (especially in the long run), because it is subject to change in both the short and long term. And it's practically impossible to have an IQ test without bias.

The problem is that the US justice system is all about punishment and revenge, but those serve very little purpose, except get a few politicians to seem tough. Prison should be about deterrent, prevention and rehabilitation. You want to prevent and dissuade people from committing a crime. A few are crazy and do need to stay behind bars for as long as possible, but most of them are human beings with few opportunities, who think they will not get caught. Increasing the chance to get caught, and giving people more real legal opportunities, will help a lot more than any punishment will ever do.

I was there in the late 90's - early 2000's. They had this program on the East-D Yard, where most of the severely mentally impaired inmates are housed. They had the Gold Coats and the Blue Coats. I was a blue coat inmate who helped with prisoner intake and administration. The correctional officers on that yard are trained to be more empathetic towards the more sensitive needs of these types of inmates. I knew many of the Gold Coats who were interviewed and they do a yeoman's job for meager pay. Also if an inmate owes state restitution, (back then) some 33% was taken out of that $36 paycheck. And most jobs started out at just 30 cents an hour. WOW. The flashbacks I get seeing that place after so many years ago...

They should be released and have steps taken to have them taken care of so they can at least enjoy their final months. They served their time, no matter what the crime is it is cruel to keep elderly people of mental and physical disability incarcerated.

And every day the family of the victims wake up knowing they'll never see their family member again... sympathy for these people is stupid.

@@Sure_You_Betcha These people have lost all memory of their crimes, that's how aging works. They spent their life in prison and served their time. They are still human beings and deserve to spend their final days in comfort on the outside. I hate narrow minded people like you.

@@StarWarsNerd okay great, the victims haven't forgotten... I don't care what the criminal has forgotten as he wasn't the one victimized... personally I think we should be executing people who are rapists, pedophiles, or those that murder someone unjustly or other certain specific circumstances (like killing pedophiles or rapists those that kill the aforementioned scum should be sentenced but have the fact that they did society a service taken into account.)

Who thumbs down this video? Like really, most elderly people still need care and attention. If I were in that situation I would want someone helping me.

They may be getting better care than a lot of old people on the outside, that can't afford an assisted living/memory care facility.
