XX one could imagine, United States citizens are paying XXXXXXXX XX dollars XX XXXX XXX XXX XXXXXXX who are incarcerated, XXX that figure could XX decreased tremendously by XXXXXX administration implementing the XXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXX program, which XX a XXXXXX XXXX XXXXXX XXX XXX early XXXXXXX of incarcerated XXXXXX who are aging or terminally ill (XXX, 2016). Not XXXX would the compassionate release program eliminate over-crowding, it XXXXX help to mitigate the exhaustive amounts XX XXX XXXXXXX currently used for these XXX-XXXXXXXXX offenders.
The XXXXXXXXXXXXX release program XX XXX XXXX XXX the XXXXXXX, it can be used for terminally ill patients who XXXX XX XXXXXX to themselves or XXXXXX. XX it XXXXXX, taxpayers XXX forced to pay XXX those XXXXXXXXX XXX XXX XXXXXXXXX XX XXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX sentences, XXXX XXXXXXX than XX they XXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXXX XXXXXX.

XXXX XXXXXXXXX XXX to be XXXXXX in and out of his XXX, XX XXXX as in and out of XXX XXXXXXXXXX, what XXXXXXXX XXXXXX could he XXXX XXXXX? He merely wanted XX XXX surrounded by a XXXXXX XXXX XXXXX him. These policies, also referred to XX an early medical XXXXXXX or medical XXXXXX, XXXXX in nearly every XXXXX XXXXXX it XX rarely utilized, even in extreme XXXXX. XXXXXXX XXXXXXX is XXXX of XXXXX XXXXXX, California's XXXXXXX-serving XXXXXX XXXXXX, XXX XXX XXXXXX compassion XXXXXXX despite XXXXXX terminal XXXXX cancer XXX only expecting to live six XXXXXX.

Of course, XXX every case XX XX extreme as Susan Atkins case XXX for XXX XXXX XXXX XXX, XXXX implementation XX reform XXXXX to be XXX in place that assures XXXXXXX XXX XXX with dignity XXXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXX XXX XXXXXXXX XX XXX XXXXXXX can be XXXXX.
Several medical doctors XXXX believe XXXXX XXXXX to be XXXX XXXXXX XX the policy.

Clearly, Mr. XXXXXXX XXXX XXX XXXXX choice for XXXX he XXXX was XXX right XXXXXX, XXXXXXX having XXXXX options available.
