[wizenheimer]

lengthy articles about the DOC and a long time inmate who has become a quasi-expert on legal issues prisoners face. And if the DOC has retaliated against him because he's been an effective advocate:

Mark Wilson, the inmate in question, heinously murdered two people, and pled guilty to avoid the death penalty. He was sentenced to two terms of life in prison by the Judge who found it clear that he should have been put to death. His incarceration has been a financial drain on the Oregon Corrections Department's limited budget to the tune of around $400,000 a year that would otherwise have been used to better conditions for the other inmates.

Leave it to the Huff&Puff to make a hero out of him.

That was in reply to Maris. Just ribbing him about his seeming excitement for government determining if the citizens have a right to live...

So someone who committed an atrocious act while on meth at the age of 18 spends 2/3 of his life being an advocate for others, and the only thing that matters is his drug-fueled crime from over three decades ago.

Reasonable...
