It’s a sweltering day in Tracy. July behind bars at Deuel Vocational Institution smells like sweat, bleach and old orange peels. Clifford Bair, a white-haired, goateed first-degree murderer—a lifer—perches under a barred window’s light and talks about the day 25 years ago in Bodega Bay when he tied up Theresa Aiken and Rose Fomasi with electrical wire and left them to die.

this was a great article, it's shameful that the Parole Boards are allowed to let lifers sit for years even though they are parole eligible, the same thing is happening in the State of Wisconsin and I wish that there was something that I could do no one who is parole eligible should have to sit for 17-18 yrs after their parole eligibligiblity date. its truly a disgrace and a shame on our Governor's for allowing this to happen

Same thing here in Idaho, my husband came up for parole in 1991 and they denied him he comes up again in 2011. We are hopefully but not counting on it.

great article. Thanks for posting. :)
