None of the 3,800 inmates currently incarcerated in Pennsylvania prisons who are serving life-sentences are eligible for parole, no, not a single one! No matter how long he or she has been imprisoned, 20, 30, or even 40 years, there's no parole review. No matter how old he or she is, 50, 60, 70 or even 80 years-old, there's no parole review. It doesn't even matter if the lifer actually killed anyone, there's no parole review. No matter how rehabilitated some of the lifers are, model prisoners, role models, paralegals, professionals in numerous fields such as electricians, masons, plumbers, carpenters, printers, barbers, craftsmen, and seamstresses, clerks, tutors, etc., there's no parole review. Lifers will never be considered for parole under Pennsylvania's current laws. Other states provide parole review for life sentence prisoners. Some of the most infamous cases in our history are given parole reviews, Charles Manson and each of his codefendants, Sirhan Sirhan, John Hinkley, Jr., Mark Linsey Chapman are all eligible for parole review. Parole review is not a guarantee of being paroled as all of the above cases illustrate. None of these persons has made parole, but they are provided parole review. Many of the men and women who are serving life sentences in Pennsylvania are model prisoners and role models for the improvement of other prisoners. They are the stabilizing forces within the prisons, but there is no hope for them. There's no light at the end of the tunnel. Something as simple as parole review for lifers in Pennsylvania would give them a glimmer of hope.
