5名因谋杀和其他罪行而被判无期徒刑的老年妇女已被监禁30多年, 突显了海湾南部监狱人口老化问题日益严重。 The "Mississippi Five," a group of five elderly women serving life sentences for murder and other crimes, have been imprisoned for over 30 years, highlighting the growing issue of aging prison populations in the Gulf South. 由于许多囚犯年龄已到50岁及50岁以上,监狱在提供慢性健康问题护理方面面临挑战。 As many inmates age into their 50s and beyond, prisons face challenges in providing care for chronic health issues. 维护者认为,妇女继续被监禁是过度的,因为她们累犯风险低,对过去的行动感到悔恨。 Advocates argue that the women's continued incarceration is excessive, given their low recidivism risk and remorse for past actions.
