(CNN) -- Mark David Chapman, the man convicted of killing former Beatle John Lennon, has been denied parole for a seventh time, according to the New York Department of Corrections.

He was last up for parole in 2010, when he was told his "discretionary release remains inappropriate at this time and incompatible with the welfare of the community," according to the state's Division of Parole.

He was also denied parole in 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006 and 2008.

Chapman, 57, is serving a sentence of 20 years to life in prison and is being held at the Wende Correctional Facility in Alden.
He is in protective custody in a single-person cell, corrections spokeswoman Carole Claren-Weaver said, and is allowed out three hours per day.

1. Good.

2. Even in jail he is in protective custody

so it's probably healthier for him to stay in. Even so, it's been almost 32 years since he shot Lennon, so hasn't he served his sentence and then some?

3. Hope he never gets released.....

He can stay in prison until he dies.... RIP John Lennon.....
