Question

Are old inmates moved out of prison at a certain age or do they stay in until death or sentence is over?

Answer 1

Some states have a "compassionate release" program where inmates who are no longer a threat to society are released after a certain age.   This is often used as a cost-saving measure.

Answer 2

They stay in until they serve their sentence or they die.

Answer 3

They stay until they die, but some get parole or extra privileges , but depends on there crime.  

Answer 4

They stay in until their sentence is over.  Or they die there. We do not have the death sentence in my state.  I was in prison and saw inmates die there.  If they get really sick and have served like 25-30 years, they may get their sentence commuted by the govenor, I saw that happen too.  Usually though, they stay there.

Answer 5

Just like a marriage till death do us part.

Inmates are classified by crimes and by age grouping.

We have a 40+age grouping area for 60 inmates and now growing to 120 inmates.

Life without is just that life without the possibility of parole?

Answer 6

They stay until they serve out their sentence or get out early on good behavior.  So in the case of a life or death sentence they would live out the rest of their days in captivity.

Answer 7

Answer 8

You stay in until you die.
