because we want to look good and seem tough by locking up people for non-violent crimes at alarming rates and keeping consenual crimes alive.
.....the manson case has always messed with my head a bit.
they were a cult. they were brainwashed. they were all young. they were doped up.
but they still did some bad things and have spent more time in jail than out.
whenever one comes up for parole I never know what to think (I know what to think about manson himself of course).
I think cases like this are hard. so many factors and no real archetype to work from.
I guess her fate has been decided though.
