Because the costs (not just financial) of keeping him locked up outweigh the benefits, perhaps?
Do you think he will be a useful productive member of society on the outside ?Will he get employment, or will he be housed at our expense, and given benefits to live on ?
Would probably also need some kind of supervision / help to integrate back in to society.
I would guess it would probably cost the taxpayer more to release him.

But why ??
He was sentenced to LIFE. His victims families are still suffering the consequences of the crime, and he shows no remorse.
So please answer me Why ??
I will happily answer this .He was sentenced to LIFE. His victims families are still suffering the consequences of the crime, and he shows no remorse.
So please answer me Why ??
We are a society and a reflection of that society is in how we treat the people who would do us wrong . To remove his life after a trial would be to entrust someone to be accurate without fault in the justification in taking that life . Can a human be infallible ? can you trust judges not to be screaming retards or simply deluded ? of course not and to allow the state to have the ability to therefore murder its subjects is very very questionable . If it were 100% without fault then yes slaughter him and harvest his organs but look back over the years with so many cases of the po-LICE corrupting evidence then its clear that the system can not be trusted .

Of course not , the world as he knows it will be nothing as he remembers , it died to him many years ago SBQuattro said:

He is 78 , of course he wont work , and of course he has never paid in to justify taking out , thats understandable given hes been in prison the last 5 decades SBQuattro said:

Now this demonstrates your clearly clueless at the process but emotional driven . I can appreciate this.Would probably also need some kind of supervision / help to integrate back in to society.
He will be released to a hostel where he will be under very very close supervision by the probation service , the hostel itself and the police . The likelihood of being recalled to prison is very very high . His remaining years will be very lonely and miserable surrounded by reprobates and disenchanted people of power doing his best not to put a foot wrong . It is very likely he may ask to go back as most long term people simply cant cope with the outside world

No its cheaper to have him out than in by about 5-6 times .

But why ??He was sentenced to LIFE. His victims families are still suffering the consequences of the crime, and he shows no remorse.
