It is beyond meaningful lifespan anyway. Even if you were a young 20 year old, if you are locked up for 50 years you would be 70 when considering release. They won't release you even then because it is unlikely that you will have anyone to pick you up or help you get on your feet, and after 50 years of being in prison most people cannot function.

Imagine if someone locked up in 1976 was released in 2026. You think they will know how to even look for a job or a place to live? No amount of prerelease education will prepare them for that.

Boycott US

Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.
