as a staunch civil libertarian, this a tough one for me, becuz i very much have a problem with "indefinite" sentences for people who have served their time and paid their dues, regardless of what their crime was.
"indefinite" sentencing is something that they did in nazi germany and soviet russia, and in all oppression regimes today, and just becuz Uncle Sam does it doesn't make it any less nazi-ish or soviet-ish, regardless of how popular it may be.
