So, he killed out of passion. Is that supposed to be an excuse for it? The person he killed doesn't have to worry about getting sick and old and need healthcare, and the person you love shouldn't either...they should have their life brought to a quick end instead of requiring healthcare for years and maybe decades. Sorry, but I have no compassion for murderers, because of passion or anything else. To the person who thinks I must not be American because I don't care if prisoner gets good healthcare...wrong. I happen to be American and love my country very much. So much, that I hate seeing good money being spent housing, feeding, guarding, and giving the prisoners healthcare...especially those who have committed heinous crimes. A white collar crime may require other punishment besides prison, but if the person is in prison for a violet crime, I think they should get appeals over with quickly and then dispose of the monsters. You may be confusing condoning torture, as the Bush administration did, with providing care to common criminals. I do not condone torture. To the writer who is in love with a murder in prison.

Obviously your not from America. Probably from some uncivilized country. To the person who wrote that most people don’t

Use their talents to serve the community. What can they do in prison except cost the tax payers money. Make them work off their crime. Again, I'm only speaking of people found guilty of a victimless crime, not robbers or murderers.

Yes, he committed a crime, murder in fact, and he is paying for that by spending the rest of his life behind bars. It is so amazing to me that people are so judgemental. Murder is almost always an act of passion, as in his case. He has never been to prison before, nor been in any significant trouble, he worked all his life and had a decent income and a very nice home. He made a "mistake", a horrible one that he will pay for until he dies. He has a few health problems, that will in fact get worse as he gets older. He does not get proper care in prison, and you people sound like you think he's no longer human and entitled to reasonable health care like anyone else because he did something wrong. You must be perfect. Let me serve notice on you about something. If you keep living, no matter how good you take care of your health, old age "will" come, and you too will have health problems. Trust me on this. I expect you will want to receive proper health care-you think? I just want to say that I happen to love a 58 year old man in prison.

Just my opinion. If someone commits a crime then they have to be punished and why does age have any difference.

Of course, if they were falsly convicted of a crime, that's different, but for the ones who truly are guilty, for whatever reason, especially if they hurt someone or killed someone, I think we shouldn't even be taking medical care of those prisoners. The thought of tax dollars paying for dialysis to keep these people alive when there are people on the outside who haven't committed crimes and can't get health care, is just really too much. I have no pity for the prisoners at any age.
