I think its a good idea. Most of them have already served a majority of their sentence, and with NC prisons being as over-crowded as they are I think that space would be better served with a violent criminal sitting in there than some little old man, for a non-violent crime her committed 10 years ago!!

No way!

No! They should have to server their sentence even if that becomes a life sentence because of an illness.

Some the most expensive state prison inmates -- those who are so infirm they are no longer a threat to society -- could come up for a vote in the state House next week. Prison officials estimate about 160 inmates would be eligible for release if the legislation becomes law.

What are your thoughts on this?
