I’m Serving 1,214 years In Prison For Murder

[@guessgirlietv]

I think what Randy said about “most people will get out one day, most people have a release date, and you don’t want them coming out the same way they went in” is super important. Punishment is not what truly changes people, we need to focus on rehabilitation so that when they do get out, they can be productive members of society.

[@yaeli_i_guess]

yeah, except we know punishment doesn't work. prison has criminogenic effects, aka it makes people commit more crimes. that of course doesn't mean people like this guy shouldn't be there. it just means there's something wrong with the system.

[@hannahchesler9059]

​@user-mx4ve5xg4y what's wrong with the system is the very fact that prisons focus on punishment rather than rehabilitation. Prisons that focus on rehabilitation solely have super low reoffending rates, eg Norway

Some people should never be out because they have zero capacity for empathy. But yes, those with potential to become rehabilitated should have a support system to become functioning members of society.

[@PokyLilWolfPup]

@@lalakuma9I’m a big fan of the programs they have for prisoners to socialize and rehabilitate dogs and cats for adoption. It’s good for the prisoners, good for the animals, gives them incentive to behave in and out of prison (one of them got attached to one of the cats and was approved to adopt him and he hasn’t reoffended), gives them the ability to develop empathy sometimes for the first time in their entire lives… there’s just so many positives

Great episode. Shows how much a bad childhood can effect someone into living a life where they don't care about anyone else because no one cared for them. These stories are always so sad, so many lives ruined. I can't imagine being in solitary for that long and not losing my mind. Not sure where I stand on him being released based on one podcast about his life and where he is now but it's interesting to hear his point of view. I wonder how the family of his victim feels about his podcasts and if they ever listen to him. I'd be really interested to hear their point of view as well. Regardless, I'm glad that Randy is doing the best he can to get his life together and find a better path and purpose in life.

I think this is stupid. The whole debate is stupid. The whole reason he’s in there is because he was formed into this to begin with, Never taught how to function in a productive way. Never taught how to handle his emotions healthily, Never taught he mattered, Never given help for the times He was victimized. These are not excuse to do hurt others, but what do you expect as a society? Someone who has had this type of life since he was a child… from the Beginning.. Of course that’s going to form someone into a person who has anger, lack of critical thinking, impulse issues, and basically the mindset that it’s a dog eat dog world.. so while I understand the these crimes can’t be put under the “everyone makes mistakes category” mindset.. in a way I say yes it can. Because if someone was raised without guidance to such a degree.. and not taught How to function like a good person.. then it is a mistake. Because the root of the problem was that they knew no other way of functioning. A person who Did have all of these tools taught to them, and an okay life and understanding of things, but murders someone Anyways. That is a bad person. There is a clear difference between the two. People just are not at all comfortable acknowledging it. It’s much easier for people to say “bad is bad, it’s black and white”. It’s also stupid to ask Him what he thinks he deserves. This is still the same person that needs therapeutic help himself. Why would you put much weight into “well even he said” this or that. If our system was better he could be rehabilitated instead of wasting away. Or worse, made even worse. But our system is designed to capitalize off of this cycle and perpetuate it. And it just continues because you all want think it’s fueled by some notion of justice. It’s ridiculous.

[@lexc.7991]

If someone murdered me.. I would want that person to be rehabilitated if possible. The only way it would not be possible is if they were truly a bad person. I don’t believe a person should be locked away for the rest of their life based on what violent thing they did, but more for the root of what they did. And if the root of what they did was because they knew no better and needed help themselves then they should serve time by having to work through what really caused it. If the root of what they did cannot be changed through rehabilitation, then yes they should be kept out of society. That’s truly how I feel. Why would I want two lives lost when only one could’ve been lost in the end.

To be honest, I don’t buy his remorse at all. What he said about remorse and the family sounds like a line he has heard or read, or something he knows he should say or care about. But it’s clear he doesn’t really, because even though he acknowledges he should be killed for what he did and should never get out… he’s going to try his best to get out anyways. How is that in any way a sense of fairness for the family? How is that going to be for them? They are going to see justice not done, or undone, and have to deal with their family member’s cold-blooded murderer just walking around free after ruthlessly taking his life? Yeah.. much remorse, I’m sure. At the end of the day he still cares more about wanting his own freedom regardless of the evil he committed, than he does care about being held accountable for what he did. He is still brutally selfish, which is the fundamental reason for what he did, but says he has “completely turned his life around”? Yeah, right.

[@noneyayeast]

I really doubt they turn off comments. Especially seeing dude ain't gonna be readin nothin but them library books.

[@loo194]

Usually I'd agree, but not in this case. I understand and empathize with his childhood, I was abused myself. But abuse and neglect aren't excuses for murder, he even said it himself. Clearly there is more going on mentally with him and he should be evaluated and treated for that. The anger he felt and probably still feels needed to be addressed and it just wasn't. Especially in the 90s when therapy was extremely stigmatized if you were a man. He was failed there. However, you can be abused, beaten, tortured, molested, and still decide not to kill people. He had mentioned that he hadn't done any sort of crime in 17 years, but also talks about being in solitary confinement for 13.5 of those years. That's a much smaller sample size then what it sounds like at first glance. This man needs mental health help desperately. I'm sorry but I didn't believe a word of what he said about remorse for his murder. It was so monotone, devoid of any emotion. To me it sounded like he has no sense of empathy whatsoever. Even while talking about the murder, it was about him. Never about the person who's 6 feet under aside from a few shallow "oh I took them away from their family..." because he doesn't care. It's quite clear. It's unfortunate but not everybody can be rehabilitated. The prison system isn't usually even a good environment to rehabilitate. In cases like this where the person is not mentally well to begin with no amount of solitary confinement or punishment will fix them. He's been there 25 years and still talks about himself as the victim. My sister was a drug addict, she's a few years sober now and it's only because the court would have thrown her back in jail if she tested positive, and she even tried to get around that. She did drugs while pregnant for both of her kids. We got her into rehabs, support grounds, therapy, moved her back in. Got her back in college, my Dad even got her a job as a dental assistant which she was studying for because he was friends with the owner. She showed up twice then fucked off for 2 weeks where we worried sick thinking she had been murdered. She never got the abuse that me and my other siblings got. My Dad was diagnosed manic depressive 3 years after she moved out, my mother's bipolar didn't almost ever show itself until her 50s. Now my Dad has early onset alzheimers and while he still has most of his memory, he has episodes where very little can calm him down. She never dealt with that. My Dad nearly chopped his hand off in a table saw accident and while we're in the hospital while he's in surgery where we don't know if they can save the hand (thank god they did) she's on the phone with Mom saying she's going to kill herself if we don't go pick her up from her boyfriends house. But of myself and my 4 other siblings, we're mostly fucking normal. Depression and anxiety sure, not a sociopath. People like this are abusive, self entitled, victimize themselves for attention and do not give a single fuck how their actions affect others. This guy is exactly like my sister, the only difference is that she's not a murderer. He killed someone cause he wanted money and he didn't give a fuck about the other living person staring back at him. His bullshit remorse is crocodile tears, he will not change and he is a major danger to society. Do you want that moving in next door to you? If you cut your lawn an inch over the property line you better lock your doors or the angry guy might try to slit your throat. If he ever gets out it better be out of jail and straight into a mental health facility that can deal with that level of crazy. There's no excuse

@@peachdevils7919 absolutely agree! Our prison system is so cruel, archaic and don’t forget profitable. Other countries use the US prison as a model of what NOT to do. Our whole legal system preys on POC and the impoverished. I hope we see a day when rehabilitation is the focus rather than cruel punishment. No more prison labor without fair pay=modern slavery. No more Solitary confinement=literal torture. No more privately funded prisons, it’s so sickening.

Call me crazy but I don’t see anything wrong with his added on charges … he saved his life and then handled a child abuser. He also sounds like a good guy to his family and preyed upon over and over in his life. I truly feel bad for him and wish he was saved before he starting lashing out. As for now, he ruined it. I feel sorry that little boy

After seeing all these comments. He committed an awful, horrible crime. He should be in jail for that crime. I understand both rehabilitation and reformation. Many of us haven’t been in jail, we don’t understand the lifestyle or hierarchy of a prison life. There are bonds made for safety, allegiances made for protection. I don’t condone murder or attacks within jail, but that is the fact, if we outside like it or not it’s a different society, it’s its own law and order. I don’t think we can speak for more than the original crime, which was wrong. Anything beyond that is something most of us will never understand or experience in our lives. It’s important to remember that, yes the actions within jail are horrible, and you are there for a reason, but once condemned there’s much more that goes on. Right or wrong, they are now in a position we may never have been in. Murder is wrong, assault is wrong, let’s also focus on what’s wrong with our criminal Justice system that 13 years of solitary could produce anything good.

Humans need social interaction of some kind, long term (anything over 120 days) is inhuman & IDC what anyone else thinks. My late husband had a lot of time & he was in solitary for 6 months & left part of his mind in that cell. He was institutionalized.
