[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If there is any pattern here, it seems to be that a number of these cases involve people who served about 70% of their sentences (85% is the typical threshold for release in federal prisons) and were over 70 years old and/or had significant health issues.

I worked in white collar crime for a number of years and after COVID, saw a number of hard fought cases end with the defendant’s sentence being commuted. It’s frustrating but in many cases, these people served over a decade with good behavior and had medical issues that prison system is neither equipped to deal with nor do they have the cost to do so. It’s referred to as a compassionate release, but in my opinion the objective is to prevent the prison system from being responsible, or worse, liable, for these individuals. [/quote]

So, in other words, compassionate release is for rich people. [/quote]

Not sure how you got to that conclusion. Most people who go to jail for that long are stripped of all their income prospects and their assets are seized for restitution. If these people are old or infirm on top of that, their outcome is pretty bleak and they need a family member or friend who is willing to provide housing and other assistance.  [/quote]

If you’re seriously going to argue that the multi-tiered system of justice we actually have is a “conspiracy theory” and that our criminal justice systems REALLY dispense justice fairly without regard to race, gender, socio-economic, or other subjective circumstances, you have zero right to be taken seriously on this topic (and probably any other topic, given the evidence of delusion).[/quote]
