☆ Opinion | Compassionate Release for Those Aging Behind Bars
  + stars: | 2023-08-21 | by ( ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
To the Editor:Re “Inside a Dementia Unit in a Federal Prison” (Opinion guest essay, Aug. 13):Katie Engelhart vividly describes the absurdity and cruelty of incarcerating frail elders with debilitating dementia. It would be a mistake, though, to conclude simply that expanding compassionate release is the answer. As a former parole commissioner, I know that dementia is just the tip of the iceberg of the problem of mass aging behind bars. Countless people (not just men) effectively face a slow death penalty behind bars because of extreme sentences or repeated denials of parole release despite these individuals’ complete transformations. Far from being helpless, many are violence interrupters, mentors, scholars and artists, including people previously convicted of causing serious harm.

He actually hasn’t existed for, like, over 20 years.” These men are serving life sentences at Angola prison in Louisiana. “I’m serving a life sentence for second-degree murder.” “First-degree murder.” “Second-degree murder and armed robbery.” “I’m serving a life sentence.” “A life sentence without parole.” “I was 18 when this crime happened.” “I was 17 years old.” “I was 18 at the time.” “I come here when I’m 17. It shouldn’t have happened.” In the U.S., there are more than 50,000 people serving life without parole, 70 percent of whom are Black. It’s just a life sentence.” A few states have implemented changes in the criminal justice system, including second-look reforms. But they are only a small fraction of those serving life without parole.

In October 2017, Diane Norelius stopped answering the phone. Her two daughters called and called. The women worried that their mother, who was 81, was sick, or maybe even dead. When Bill died of complications from a broken hip in 2011, after 53 years of marriage, Diane found herself alone for the first time. Then Erik died of cancer at age 55.
