Yeah, I can’t believe the heartless remarks. This child is dying she doesn’t understand what’s going on with her daddy. I sure hope no one here has to rely on the decency of others in a heartbreaking situation like this. So, any inmate who has a dying child, or spouse, or parent, or sibling should be granted a leave to go visit? Who grants these leaves, and will this require a doctor's note or something? Who's going to verify the millions of inmate requests for these visits? Who is going to supervise all these inmates visiting sick relatives? Are we going to trust hardened criminals to go visit a sick cousin and come back to prison on his own?
A dying 10 yr. old child is the subject of this thread. The father is in a minimum security prison and is due to be released in August. He could be given a furlough to spend the last days comforting this little girl as she passes on. I can't be as heartless and sanctimonious as some have been about this case. This man has not only been punished by the law and now he will receive the greatest heartbreak a human being can endure, the lose of a child. If you have never experienced it or had someone close to you endure it I can assure you it is a pain greater than anything that could be administered by the state.
