[Commenting under "Eleventh Circuit upholds a 57-year sentence for federal juve offender for non-homicide crimes based in part of possibility of good-time credits"]

@Jim Gormley

During my 8 years in Federal prison, I served time at FCI - Gilmer in Glenville, West Virginia with two young black brothers who were juveniles when prosecuted (they were also cellmates in the same prison)in Federal Court in South Carolina for "Armed Robbery in or Affecting Interstate Commerce", after conducting a series of robberies of gas station/convenience stores, during which they carried pistols, threatened to kill people, and even pistol whipped a 17-year old female clerk. They had been passed around in the South Carolina foster care system for years, and really never had a fair chance at life. Their public defender got them to plead guilty to the crimes, without advising them of the sentences they faced, including mandatory consecutive time for "use or carry of a firearm while committing a crime of violence or a drug crime". When I met them, they were in their late teens, and had been sentenced to 53 years in the Bureau of Prisons. Neither the prison staff nor most of the inmates knew what to make of these youngsters. One or two older black men tried to take them under their wings and teach them how to live in prison. If an when they are released, they will not be able to work or survive in civil society. Legislators, prosecutors and judges lose sight of what serving so many years in prison does to a man, particularly if his sentence began when he was a teenager.

From David Behar:

Jim. I agree with you. Those victims of society would never function in the outside world. What you do not mention is their behavior in prison. I am going to bet the crime meter continued to spin at supersonic speed, and they had to be straightened out by the prisoners, because the staff owes their jobs to them. The prisoner victims of their crimes were left to fend for themselves, as we all are on the outside.

They should have been executed on the reading of the guilty verdict. If they wished to redeem themselves they could have signed consent to donate their organs after screening for diseases. The purpose of warehousing them is to provide jobs for registered members of the Democratic Party, and absolutely nothing else. Let me guess again. The overwhelming majority of rent seeking, worthless, make work government workers were white males.

The criminal justice system of the USA is a major scam to defraud the tax payer by the criminal cult enterprise that is the lawyer profession. It achieves nothing, and takes in a cool $trillion.

Later

The Congress must impeach the entire Supreme Court. Any dissenters failed to stop the pro-criminal majority. They have accomplice liability, and deserve to be impeached. These are out of control rent seeking, pro-criminal, criminal cult members, in out of control insurrection against our constitution. Judicial review is prohibited by Article I Section 1, giving law making power to the Congress.
