Must've been fun when you got to progress from the flint knife through the Bronze Age and into the Iron Age...

This is a hard one...

I've had a very close family member die from cancer recently, and am preparing to watch another very close family member go a similar way... from his families point of view I can see and understand why they would want him out of jail...

I believe in do the crime do the time... but also you must consider... cancer treatments don't come cheap, nor do the nurses and doctors and guards who will have to escort him to chemo and raditation and specialist appointments...

Thats OUR tax money going to support some criminal... let him out of prison and let his family carry that burden, that way your not loosing it out of taxes and his family gets to spend what time they need with him...

The'll be off for a special needs grant as he leaves the gate
