If they have been there for decades these inmates may be their only family. Ifthey have family they can apply for compassionate release, but not unless they are really sick. The process for approval is so long it is rare to be released. You would think they would want them to go just to be rid of the expense. There is no empathy for the person dying. It isn’t as though they area danger to society.
