    It is beyond meaningful lifespan anyway. Even if you were a young 20 year old, if you are locked up for 50 years you would be 70 when considering release. They won’t release you even then because it is unlikely that you will have anyone to pick you up or help you get on your feet, and after 50 years of being in prison most people cannot function.

    Imagine if someone locked up in 1976 was released in 2026. You think they will know how to even look for a job or a place to live? No amount of prerelease education will prepare them for that.
