Sure, cannot even apply for parole until 30 years (he would be 98) - this is a life sentence and well deserved

That's what need to be done when a person gets the death penalty, have a building out back of the courthouse, kill em, chill em, bury em.....that saves people from paying more taxes......

Should have been a few lifetimes, but considering that they'll be putting him into general population after 30 days he'll be dead within two months, so it's fair.

Really? I doubt it.

You doubt they'll put him in general population?

He's ASKING FOR IT. Apparently because it cuts his sentence by several years. He's not a very bright guy. And the prison has already agreed to his request after 30 days in solitary.

"While Sandusky has been in isolation at the Centre County Detention Center, he has expressed an interest in serving out his prison time among the general population."

He'll be dead within a week of that.

Unfortunately convicted child molesters are automatically placed in protective custody. They don't last long in Gen Pop

Good news, he's asking for general population, and they're granting his wish.

If I were in his shoes I'd probably do the same thing.

Spending the rest of your life in prison is worse than death.

Now just how long do you think that ol' 68 year old man is gonna live?
It's not likely he'll be a spry old 98 year old when he gets out (or carried out.)If he was a 38 year old, I would say the time sentence was not long enough.
I can't believe he is trying to blame the victims.
I am getting sick of seeing and hearing of him on the news-it's over and over and over and over. They all should leave that crap off television and just print it in the newspapers.

Most likely, he'll die in prison anyway...... But He did it to himself.....

Since public castation is not permitted, it will have to do.

I would prefer that he be set on fire and pushed off of a cliff, but this will have to do.

If he was younger, I'd want it to be longer, but I doubt he'll do this again in his lifetime.

If we were under YHWH's law, he would had been stoned to death, which would put fear into the hearts of those that would continue in this perverted behavior.

Considering his age I would say so he won't last 10-15 at most, unless he is in open population than it will be less than that.

I would have liked to seen it harsher, but at least I know he will die in prison and never see the light of day on the other side of those bars.

100 Years would satisfy me, without any chance for parole. And he should be locked up with Bubba to get a taste of his own medicine.

....you're right, I know, but sometimes it seems like so many people are convicted of very nasty crimes and only serve a small portion of their assigned sentences, and it gets frustrating...

"They" need to bury him on the 50-Yard-Line of the Penn State Football Field . . . And perhaps even rename the Dressing Room as "The Sandusky Showers" to warn all of those young men who make Penn State the choice of the future for athletics . . . Also allow Temple, William & Mary, who might have never suited-up William, and some of the other great-grid-iron powerhouses who fell victim to "Paterno's Schedule" to re-schedule some games with the Nitney Lions during the heavy-sanction (less scholarship athletes) years . . . . So that it can be proven that Paterno wasn't aware that "If You Play a Dog then you Look Like a Dog!"
