Didnt you hear about the last nigga who swung @ me
If I remember correctly I’m he was convicted of shooting and killing a plain clothes police officer
he was sentenced to death but CACs felt as though the environment influenced the proceedings. they resentenced him to life without parole
in 2012 some case in AL ....banned mandatory life sentencing for teenagers
the man petitioned that this should be retroactively applied to his situation and voila

She's been for the abolishment of prisons. I still haven't heard an answer for what we'd do for hardened unrepentant criminals and serial offenders (e.g., rapists and child molesters) if all prisons go away.
The system is the issue not prison because some people belong there serial killers, child molesters, rapists etc.

Okla. governor grants clemency to Julius Jones hours before he was set to be executed
Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt commuted the death sentence of Julius Jones after a public outcry. Jones, who maintains he was wrongly convicted of a 1999 murder, now faces life in prison without parole.

i always talk about my stance on prisons/jails
imo traditional prisons provoke more violence than they prevent and are so fundamentally flawed, they CANNOT be reformed.
in fact they should be abolished and replaced by "anti-prisons," that is, locked, secure residential spaces, therapeutic communities, and centers for human development—emphasizing therapy and education rather than punishment, and restorative rather than retributive justice.
prisons as they stand currently only exacerbate the problems in society.
Angela Davis said it best:
“Prisons do not disappear social problems, they disappear human beings. Homelessness, unemployment, drug addiction, mental illness, and illiteracy are only a few of the problems that disappear from public view when the human beings contending with them are relegated to cages.”

That shit won't happen in the U.S. anytime soon. While, I think there are some prisoners that wouldn't benefit from and don't necessarily deserve that kind of treatment, I can admit what you're suggesting is probably a better way to go for most criminals than what we have now.
The problem is that a lot of Americans are too committed to wanting to punish criminals and se those people suffer to ever be good with something like that. You can bet that some people would look at a detention center like what you propose and claim that the criminals are being treated better than a lot of innocent citizens. Hell, some crazy people make that claim for the shitty prisons we have now.

If he's actually innocent this is pretty much a resounding defeat disguised as a victory. If I'm reading that right, even if someone somehow proves his innocence, they still won't have to release him.
I doubt they knew the particulars

I'm curious about the wording of that and if the next gov decides they want to do something or even the president can overrule that?
