I like the wording here:
> is a certified recovery coach, a scholar and a teaching assistant who's serving a 40-year sentence for the murder of her husband.
I feel like "husband murderer" probably ought to come first in your little list of titles there.
This system is a joke. If someone's committed a real crime (with a victim), and you allow this, you're forgetting prison is supposed to be a punishment.
I guess it'd be fair if the government kept half of what they make though.... Oh wait...
