Don't do the crime if you can't do the time!

Should her father be released and allowed to go to his dying daughter's side?

ABC News: Child's Dying Wish to See Dad Unfulfilled

Honestly, my initial response was no...but reading the circumstances...he most definitely should be allowed to be with his daughter when she dies.

He is on his last year. It is a drug crime but it cant be THAT bad if he only got 5 years and it is minimum security jail...
SO

I would say for sure he should be allowed to be by her side.

 

[terbear1225]

given that he's served 4 yrs of a 5 year term, and he'd child is dying, not allowing him to be near her seems cruel.

 

[Larry Gude]

Of course...

...they should let her see him. Anyone who thinks otherwise, for a freaking drug offense, is truly cold hearted and malicious to boot.

Jason Charles Yaeger is serving the final year of a five-year sentence for a drug conviction in a minimum security prison camp

For crying out loud.

But in a letter to Rep. Jeff Fortenberry of Nebraska — dated Feb. 20 and obtained by ABC News — a regional director from the Department of Justice wrote that "although Mr. Yaeger believes his daughter's severe medical condition constitutes 'extraordinary justification,' a review of his case reveals this specific request was … reviewed … and denied … because his circumstances were not deemed to rise to the level of extraordinary."

That's a cold hearted bastard right there.

I'm curious what "drug charge" means. Possession? Distributing?

Anyway, my vote is to transfer him to a prison closer to the daughter and give him furloughs, as long as he's been a compliant prisoner and not caused any problems.

What would be considered extraordinary, then? Good grief, just let the man see his daughter.

...fair and reasonable. I mean, minimum security prison camp, we're not talking Capone here.

I think heard it was a meth charge. But still, they have let him have 2 hr furloughs with her before, the family justs wants him there more now. Its up to the warden

No sh!t. What a prick.

 

[Sharon]

Too bad, so sad but I'd say no. He caused his incarceration it's his tough luck.

Maybe someone will start a fund to send her to visit Daddy.



Flame away.

 

[jetmonkey]

Can they transfer the daughter to the prison infirmary?

I'm not cold hearted. But you say it's ONLY a drug charge. Do you realize how hard it is to be indicted federally for a drug offense. When the Feds take a drug case, it isn't your run of the mill guy on the corner dealing drugs. There is a lot more to it. This guy has been given two visit's with his dying daughter. He has seen her and had an opportunity to say goodbye. What if he gets out and she doesn't die, but then she is going to die next month...oh wait..maybe the month after that. There are plenty of mothers and fathers who wished they had their kids with them, but don't because people supplied them dangerous deadly drugs!

I took into account all of the information in the article. It's not that black and white.

 

[jetmonkey]

The reporter really dropped the ball somehow when it came to presenting the circumstances of the incarceration. Almost as if he had an agenda or something.

 

[Dymphna]

There's probably more to this story.

He got a furlough to be with his dying daughter...then she got better. He got a second furlough...she got better. "She's dying for real this time, I swear!"

Seems the third time the boy cried wolf no one believed him either...ok, so it was true, and it may be true for this girl unfortunately, but I can't blame prison officials for taking a hard line on this.

 

[Larry Gude]

He's in...

...a minimum security work camp. He's done 4 of 5. His daughter wants to see him again before she dies. If the dead kids had better parents, they would not have been so stupid as to think they could use dangerous, illegal drugs and not pay a price. If he was a better parent he wouldn't be where he is now. I am not asking he get anything more than to see his kid once who will be dead in less than a month. Then finish his sentence.

Plus, he talks to her daily. She's been sick longer than he's been in jail. He chose to continue his life of crime and easy (tax free) money after the diagnosis of her illness.

Maybe he did it to pay for medical bills?

Just saying When times get tough, sometimes that is where people turn :shrug:

 

[Tigerlily]

I bet they'll let him out for the funeral though. Sad to say but I know for a fact that has been done here with a convicted drug felon.

I say let him have one last visit she will probably let go after that anyway.
