This guy is currently the subject of an intense manhunt in South Carolina for rape and murder charges. The funny thing is, this guy has a very long history of jail time, including serving 8 ½ years of a 10-year sentence on assault and battery, kidnapping and fraud charges. The part that makes me mad is this:
Since his release, Stanko had become an advocate to reform the prison system and has co-authored a book with criminal justice professors at Middle Tennessee State University called "Living in Prison: A History of the Correctional System With an Insider's View."
I just don't think I can come to appreciate this man's views. Perhaps if he does not like the living conditions inside of prison, he should stop committing crimes.

He sent a letter to "The State." He was a proponent for jail reform and better treatment of prisoners. He had been in and out of prison for nearly the entirity of the nineties. What a piece of shit. All the more reason for strict sentences for those who choose to live outside the parameters of normal society.

That was a good point. I won't say you have to read his entire book to judge him, but to make any type of criticism you can't get blinded by the horrible acts and really have to at least consider what he might have to say. I would guess that the conditions he has grown up in, especially the violent and physical ones in prisons, are related to these violent acts.
