States spend a huge amounts putting people in prison who simply don't need to be there. A lot of this money is spent keeping elderly people on lockdown.

We should not be using taxpayer dollars to keep elderly or ailing individuals in prison when they are not dangerous to our communities. These elderly individuals should at least be given the right to present their case in a hearing before a parole board to determine whether they should be released to their families to care for them.
