About 162,000 Inmates Serving Life Sentence

On a side note, I think its time we start actually executing the people that were sentenced to death and have been sitting on death row for decades!
My wife starting writing to this guy in prison, on death row, through some program that the church was doing many years ago. She's been writing this guy for 30+ years ! And his sentence has still not be carried out ! I mean, I can see giving them a couple years for appeals, but 3 decades?
