  1. How a first-class country give him so many years, yet in NYC, ALL KIND OF CRIMES WITH NOTHING? BIDEN AMERICA. THEY SIMPLY DON'T CARE. DEPARTMENT OF INJUSTICE. WELCOME TO CUBA

  2. This is a DISGRACE & stain on humanity, the man shouldn't just be released from solitary, he should be given his freedom; he's effectively been tortured, sad sad sad!!!

  3. Before I even opened this video, I was sure it would be Texas. No big surprise there. Prisons are big business here in Texas – and also major employers in East Texas rural areas. Our politicians grandstand and glorify severe punishment instead of rehabilitation or correction. "Law & order" is the mantra. It seems to resonate with a large portion of voters. Shameful. 🥀

  4. From my research this man has never taken a life. He was charge and convicted with aggravated robery. I would like to know how a person gets a sentance of 80 years for that. To me it seems kind of unfair. Politics, and I would assume peoples bias oppinions. I believe the saying, the higher you go the more corruption there is, is true. Seems like the older I become the more obvious that becomes.
