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

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!!
