This is the truth about California's elderly prison population in one sentence.
People in their 60s, 70s, 80s - many with serious health conditions, mobility issues, and no disciplinary infractions for decades - remain locked up not because they're dangerous, but because releasing them would cost the prison system money.
Every elderly prisoner requires expensive medical care that the state has to provide while they're incarcerated. You'd think that would be an argument FOR release. But the math works differently when prisons are profit centers. Keeping beds filled matters more than keeping people alive and healthy.
This design shows elderly prisoners in chains - with walkers, wheelchairs, canes - because age doesn't earn freedom in California. Only profit does.
Essential for advocacy groups, family coalitions, and community organizers building campaigns for elderly prisoner release. Makes a powerful statement at protests and policy hearings.
