"he has spent closer to 85 years in the justice system. He is very likely the longest-serving prisoner, ever, in the United States. .... He seems to believe he is still in prison, though he was paroled to the nursing home in 2020. In fact, he could technically leave — to go get lunch, or visit one of the nearby towns — but someone would have to request permission and sign him out, which no one appears to have ever done ... Almost everyone he knew before he went away is dead."

- selimthegrim 3y agoThe Cracked article says he escaped in 1967, was recaptured and briefly paroled in 1975 for 10 months.
- zapdrive 3y agoHe could have been paroled in 2012, but was either paranoid or in a mental state where he didn't understand what they were asking and refused to sign the papers.
