Virginia Senate committee passes bill allowing all offenders to seek release after 15 years, the Second Look bill


“most inmates doing more than 15 years have already had their second, third, fourth, and fifth chances — the typical released state prison inmate has five prior convictions, according to Rafael Mangual, who studies the criminal-justice system at the Manhattan Institute.”


As always never think of the victims.

[Dr. Felix Birdbiter]

I think life sentences with no chance of parole are cruel and unusual punishment. I would suggest in its place the 15 year rule for the first two incarcerations and an instant death penalty for the next. It is quite obvious by that time the criminal cannot be rehabilitated and will simply continue to offend both in and out of prison. So, just allow him to assume room temperature with the 3rd conviction.

The only ones life sentences are cruel on are the taxpayers.

The Virginia Senate is Democrat controlled... what a surprise, huh? A Democrat is a piece of excrement whether they hold office or vote for them.

I don't see any way Jason Miyares, Winsome Sears and Gov. Youngkin are going to let that become law.
