What prison life will be like for Aaron Hernandez

[Doomsday101]

(CNN)Prison life won't be pretty for Aaron Hernandez, the NFL football player and convicted murderer sentenced to life without parole.
After correction officers evaluate him, he will be shipped to Massachusetts' flagship maximum-security prison, one of the most high-tech jails in the United States with no history of breakouts: the Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center in Shirley, about 40 miles outside downtown Boston.
It's called Souza, for short, and it's the state's newest prison, opened in 1998, with a matrix of 366 cameras recording live 24 hours a day and a microwave detection perimeter with taut wire.
"I don't know the date, but he'll be going there. That's the maximum-security facility," Department of Corrections spokesman Darren Duarte said.
Legal advocates for inmates describe Souza as sterile and violent at once. Its diverse demographic includes the young and the old, many of whom are also doing life. One stubborn problem is that opiates are smuggled to inmates, the legal advocates said.

They call it the booty house.

Humans can adjust and find happiness in prison, especially if they know there's no chance of ever getting out. It's not 60 years of misery as people imagine, particularly for a psychotic mind.

That's why I hate sentences like this.

True but he also gets to think of the five-year $40 million contract he had with the Pats and the life style he has thrown away. Could not happen to a nicer guy.

I'd rather he be thinking about the doom that awaits him in 3, 5, 7 years as the legal process slowly trudges along. That's the anguish he won't suffer this way. He'll adjust, and in 2-3 years, he'll have accepted it and found a skewed peace and meaning in prison.

He's lucky he wasn't drafted by Houston or Carolina.

what is so screwed up about the so called justice system is that all those appeals never address whether or not he committed the crimes; they are always about technical details and this and that. To me an appeal should only be heard if there is doubt about the verdict or there is something that has come up that might affect the sentencing. IF there is no doubt about his guilt and no extenuating circumstances all these appeals should be trash canned.

I don't think many here really understand the criminal mind - I won't pretend to. It may be life without parole will hurt the most, while execution might for others. This dirtbag did not feel pain in others - can he feel pain in himself and how?

I still can't imagine doing anything to put something like that at risk.

Me either, you have the world in your hands and you throw it all away. I guess in the end the guy was a thug who could play football and all the money in the world was not going to change the fact that he is a thug.

Appeal aside, his days in court are far from over (still faces double murder charges). With his sentence what it is, what is the point of throwing more money into prosecuting him for more crimes? A life sentence is a life sentence, period. There is no possibility of putting this piece of dirty to death so why not just toss him behind bars, throw away the key and never hear from him again?

Are the other two murders going to be tried in Massachussetts? If not, maybe the death penalty is still on the table. I don't know though.....

Last time I checked, Boston was still in Massachusetts and Massachusetts does not use the death penalty.

Was a simple question, had no idea where they were killed, not following it closely.

Who here actually thinks he pulled the trigger and killed that kid?

It took me as much time to find the answer as it did to give it to you. So you could have done the same rather than wasting both our time. That would have been the simplest action on your part since that what seems to be matters to you.

Some of are at work typing and reading on a phone. Keep being a jerk, will get you far...........

If it bothers you that much, don't reply to a question, simple as that.

You talk in many threads like you know everything and everyone else are idiots, gets old fast. Scratch that, it is beyond old. You sound like an entitled 20 ish brat, but carry on

I think he did but even if he got someone else to do it does not really change a thing.

...and yet you have time to write that? Sounds like your work day is well spent. in deed... not. I'd rather be a jerk than a sad bag collecting a check that I did not earn. Now who is entitled? At work on CZ getting paid... good for you, working man.

Just shut up, you started this whole thing. You are definitely lacking manners and common courtesy. Must be nice to have so much free time to go through threads and nit-pick.
