Where is Melanie McGuire serving her sentence and when could she be paroled?

Melanie McGuire is serving her sentence at the Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women in Clinton, NJ. She was sentenced to life in prison, with additional charges, so, under state law, she will have to serve 66 yrs before becoming eligible for parole. She was 34 at the time of sentencing, so she will be past her 100th birthday."Under the state’s No Early Release Act, a life sentence is defined as 75 years for purposes of calculating the term of parole ineligibility.

McGuire must serve 85 percent of that sentence, or 63 3/4 years, without possibility of parole. She also must serve an additional period of 2 ½ years of parole ineligibility on the perjury charge, for a total of 66 1/4 years without parole. She gets credit for 140 days already served in jail.

Judge DeVesa sentenced McGuire to 10 years in prison for desecrating human remains, but that sentence will run concurrent with the life sentence. By law, the weapons charge merged with the murder charge and carried no additional prison term." (nj.gov/oag/newsreleases07/pr20070719a.html).

My sister is a inmate there I have seen melanie several times on visiting days with her bf. She seems to be just fine with being there . I have also seen 3 different women come to visit.

The day after she was sentenced I saw her at the prison cleaning up and seem to be doing what the other prisoners were doing mind she was only there a day . That crying shaking scene must have been for the cameras . Cause in clinton she seems aloof, and does have friends from day one .

Her and my sister are friends my sister had no idea as to who she was until I told her . Melanie did give her the impression that she was telling her a secret about her crimes,, but in reality she was just telling her what the paper and prosecutors already claimed. My sister said she did spend her first night there saying on the phone "you can get me outta here"!

I know you can get me out I can get out of here . Now my sister says that she has her own cell and reality has set in that this is where she will be till death. Oh well.....

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
