76. Life with some possibility of parole if rehabilitated, not tied to time but development.
I believe that prisons are for protecting society and rehabilitation. Punishment isn't particularly an important piece of my thinking. The whole thing is a failure with thousands of years of documentation supporting the literal epic scope of the failure of our present system to attempt to make good on my goals despite the success of the containment portion because we create a professional criminal underclass, most of which return to no options but shady dealings and being surrounded by a bad element.
