No release. But if her friends and family want to be there at her prison deathbed when she passes on, that could possibly be arranged.

I respectfully disagree. Sharon Tate wasn't allowed even the smallest of comforts as her life was taken from her. HER family never got the chance to say goodbye.

Even alone in prison, Atkins will experience a much easier death than her victims.

That much is true, and while we are on the point, I think she should have been executed a long time ago.

I guess my point is that her friends and family (again, assuming she has any) were not responsible for her crimes. If they’re willing to drive up there at their own expense, go through the security checks to be with her when she dies, I don’t have a problem with that.

And, frankly speaking, I don’t have a problem if that is NOT allowed either. It’s not really much skin off my nose either way.

The operative point is no release. Life in prison should mean just that. They stay locked up until they die. Period.

That’s right. She is already recieving mercy. She had a death sentence. She was given 30 more years.

This is justice.
