With a dangerous offender designation, you're not going to jail forever. After seven years, you're offered an opportunity for a parole hearing. Even if you fail that parole hearing, every two years subsequent to that, you're provided another opportunity, so that if there is a change in attitude, or lifestyle, or if you do show that you can be rehabilitated.... Would you agree with me that those opportunities are there, so that a person doesn't spend the rest of their life in jail and doesn't incur the terrible cost of incarceration on our society?
