Why would a parole board not release a serial killer who has "limited understanding" of his crimes?

Question

He has "limited understanding" of his crimes after 30 years of incarceration.

Answer 1

The parole board has specific criteria it is supposed to go by, regarding the person's violence potential, current violence custody level, and a point system. With a serial killer, they are also going to look at what he did 30 years ago, whether he understood it or not, and THAT is all they look at.

My husband has been incarcerated for 26+ years, for possession of less than 4 ounces of coke, and has been turned down for parole every time. In his case, it has been our experience that no matter what you do after the crime, how you mature, and straighten yourself out, they still base ALL of their decision on what they think you did when you were convicted.

You could have "excellent institutional adjustment," for two decades, without causing any problems, and they will still go back to what you did in your wild and wooly days. Let he who is without guilt case THAT first stone. Would anyone now in their 50's want to be held responsible for all the crazy stuff we did back in the 60's and 70's???

I don't know of any bleeding heart liberals on the parole board. I constantly see the parole board pass over aging people who have reformed themselves (prison sure as H--- doesn't rehab anyone) and have a desire to help kids before they also get into trouble, yet release child molesters and sexual offenders. They keep aging prisoners who are no longer a threat, and release garbage back on the street. Your life and the lives of your family hinge all on the opinion of one or two hearing examiners, period. THey do have criteria, but they also have opinion.

I don't know if that answers your question. I do know they are tremendously understaffed, and don't possibly have time to look at a file four inches thick. I also know that an inept hearing examiner twisted evidence clearing my husband of a crime in Florida into a murder in NC ???? that we are still trying to get straightened out. He never had a murder conviction, never molested a child, never even kicked our dog. But he got a 41+ sentence, and is now 65 years old..

Go figure. Your tax dollars at work.

Answer 2

He would most likely be a "threat to society" because he doesn't fully understand the effects that his crime has caused another person OR how he, himself played a part in the crime & perhaps he's not showing "remorse" in a way the Parole Board finds acceptable. After 30 years, he just may be "institutionalized" to the point of never being considered for live outside of Prison. This is a sad fact of prolonged incarceration.

Answer 3

hi, i imagine virgo, libra and scorpio make the suitable serial killers. Dare I say Libra first? i comprehend there is gonna be a lot of protests - in spite of the indisputable fact that the sociopathic libra has no experience of justice, is amazingly agile and smart and covers up all their tracks good. i'd say scorpio first, yet then scorpio's intensity would cause them to a best suspect first up. The virgo killer is nice with information, yet i don't think of they are in chance of kill serially except there's a good reason. Oh, in spite of the indisputable fact that the virgo killer is nice at planning and is conventional with a thanks to make a "sparkling" go out, besides as kill the sufferer the fastest - without a lot blood and gore. The worst would regrettably be the fireplace indicators.... Leo would surely not be able to save undercover for lengthy; Aries would in all likelihood omit out some information and get stuck, even as Sag would go away all their equipment on the crime scene. So sure, libra and scorpio.

Answer 4

Why should they release a serial killer who has "limited understanding" of this crimes? If he's been in jail for 30 years and still doesn't fully understand what he's done, then obviously he's not rehabilitated and shouldn't be released. If he doesn't understand what he's done, then who's to say if he's release he won't do it again?

Answer 5

Release someone who has killed several innocent victims and has "limited understanding" of what he's done wrong? Release him to what? Kill more people ? He may not belong in prison but he doesn't belong on the streets either. What would you have him released to? After all these years, he's institutionalized and he will have even less understanding of how to live independently. Hhhmmmm.....don't think I'd want him moving to my community.

Answer 6

Since he has not been rehabilitated by his incarceration, they will not let him go. This is mostly to protect the public, since he does not exactly know that what he did was wrong.

You are lucky that this person was not imprisoned in San Francisco. A liberal judge there would have let this person out in a heart beat.

Answer 7

Because it makes the bleeding hearts on the parole board feel better about themselves, superior to the "closed minded", and they cannot be held liable for their actions.

What do they care if the person goes out and kills someone else? It probably won't be someone they care about.

Answer 8

Mostly because people like me don't want him out and pass laws preventing it. Criminals commit crimes for only one reason....they are evil. Rehabilitation is almost non-existent and recidivism once they get out is very high. Since we are not about to go around executing criminals willy nilly to protect society from them, they belong in prison.

Answer 9

Then he'd have "limited understanding" that he isn't supposed to kill people...again....keep him locked up.

Answer 10

so he does not get out and kill more people, including you for asking such a retarded question...
