In Louisiana anyone serving LWOP in at Angola, a state run prison- not to say there isn't money to be made there as well
What a fucked up country! Dividing the country into a bunch of fiefdoms was one of the worst things the founding fathers did. One country, one set of laws. That poor man is just one of thousands and thousands of overly harsh punishments, usually for black men and women, handed down by our horrible legal system.
