Absolutely there should be. And they should be considered on a case by case basis when considering the merits thereof
What if he was violent?
Hardly think so, as he is house in a "Camp" that has NO BARS and NO FENCE. Inmates could/can simply walk away anything they so choose
What if it was a son (far less cute?)
Now that really makes sense. Would a father love a son less than a daughter? Would this not touch SOME OF US the same if this were so??
What if the daughter was 45 years old?
It would make absolutely no difference: A child dying, no matter the age, holds as much importance as any other.
How about if the daughter had 2 years to live?
THEN THIS WOULD BE A MOOT POINT BECAUSE AS OF AUGUST, HE WOUILD BE FREE TO TRAVEL AND SPEND AS MUCH TIME BY HER SIDE AS HE WISHES.
Sadly, she will be dead by then.
Where is the limit to freeing criminals for dying relatives?
HE IS NOT ASKING TO BE "FREED." HE IS ONLY ASKING TO BE ABLE TO SPEND AS MUCH TIME WITH HIS DAUGTHER (LET US NOT FORGET THAT THIS WAS HER DYING WISH) AS NEED BE UNTIL SHE IS DEAD AND THEN HE WOULD BE RETURNED TO HIS JAIL FACILITY.
Jason Yaeger is not asking to be let off, has offered to spend double the remaining time he has to serve if they will let him be with his daughter when she passes...
