There are certain prisoners that shouldn't get a sentence like that, but there are others that crossed all sorts of lines to where they never should have the chance to be in society again. If they want redemption, then pray and hope there is a God that will listen and forgive them.

I think that parole should always be an option, and I say that as someone in a state where parole doesn't exist at all. I understand what you're saying, but I feel like the process of applying for parole will weed those sorts of things out. If an inmate isn't going to reform, then no parole. But that won't be the same story for everyone.
