I don't see how you argue that elderly people should be released. Life without parole is just that.
Not long ago there were 70 some people locked up with a life without parole sentence for marijuana related offense, which I am assuming was a large quantity. Even though the 'War on Drugs' has been a failure, the 'War on Marijuana' which was part of that was just ridiculous. Locking someone away for weed, even lets say 6 pounds of it, is just mind-blowing wrong.
If its a non violent crime, then a lwp sentence doesnt seem justified, let alone right.
