If people are in prison who should not be in prison, that's a different thing. You mentioned murder. Personally I don't believe that murderers should ever be released. The fact that we do so sends a signal that murder is bad, y'know, and we give a life sentence and all, but we don't really mean it, particularly if it wasn't a 'bad' murder. Hypothetically, I would not be happy if my elderly father was in an old folks home and in the next room was a convicted murderer. By all means though, let's have prisons that are essentially old folks homes with secure fences around the grounds and treat the inmates as decently as possible.
