Don't they already have a way to let old sick prisoners out to die?
Don't judges take thing like age and ability into account when sentencing?
There was an old lady, in her 80s or 90s, who lived next to Central high who got busted dealing drugs more than once. The courts didn't want to be responsible for her, so she would not get any jail time despite being a repeat offender. If she had been 25 yrsold, and healthy she would have received a different sentence. Course, she prob'ly wouldn't've been dealing if she didn't think she could get away with it.
state courts probably
federal courts-based on the PSI, the statute and the sentencing guidelines. age usually doesn't play a role
its based on
A) offense level which includes "relevant conduct" (for example if you are convicted of 3 bankrobberies but there is credible evidence you robbed 6 that can count)
B) criminal history-0 means you have no record, 2 means minor stuff-if you are up at 5 you've been a long time asshole.
