Oh, I dunno.
US Sentencing is insane. Just look at the Norwegian mass murderer, who officially got 17 years....in reality, it will be life. But the US CREATES career criminals by establishing overly harsh sentences all the time (simple possession, anyone??). Even in cases equivalent to manslaughter, in much of the Western world, one serves some time and can still have a legitimate chance to restart a life. Here, once you've been in doing hard time that long, you are going to be stuck on that treadmill forever. And it is bankrupting the U.S.Still
