The Valley Springs owner, Herminigilda Noveda Manuel, pled guilty to felony elder abuse and was sentenced to a year in prison. The administrator, Edgar Babael, got probation for aiding in a crime.
Got one year in prison by pleading guilty. A year in prison is not just the cost of doing business.
For almost killing 19 people and being completely devoid of morality? Yeah, that’s nothing. And only one of the responsible people got any prison time.
As a side note, the leftist policy on prisons should be making them humane and using them as a last resort, not abolition. This is the type of crime that any decent society should punish – not simply try to rehabilitate the offender, or make the victims whole, or keep the offender out of a position where they can re-offend, etc. The punishment should involve loss of freedom, not the abuse and lack of basic dignity common in existing U.S. prisons, but that punishment should happen. And there are many crimes where this is appropriate.

And theres literally redditors going yass kween kamala over it 😭😭😭😭
Prison abolition is partly premised on creating a society where this kind of crime cannot happen because the structures and systems that made it possible don’t exist. Can’t have a small group of people harm the elderly if the elderly are integrated members of a very social society and large parts of the community interact with them every day.
