The judge also sentenced Payette to four years in prison for the violation of his probation. At the arraignment today, Payette pleaded not guilty to a single charge of first-degree murder. He is charged with stabbing a 66-year-old West Warwick man to death in a dispute over a debt last November. The stabbing occurred seven months after Payette had been released from the Adult Correctional Institutions. Payette, 44, has spent 20 years of his life in jails in Rhode Island, New Hampshire and New Jersey. His first stint came when he was just 19 on a breaking and entering charge. His pre-trial hearing on the Rhode Island is set for April 1. Posted by Peter Phipps CommentsWe need prison reform NOW | February 15, 2008 2:01 PM link Post a commentPlease be civil.

With all the current talk about reducing the size of the prison population, it's disheartening to read about a punk 19-year-old b/e criminal who after 20 years inside of "correctional facilities" not only was not "corrected", but worsened while inside its walls.
It's about time that prisons began to rehabilitate their charges for reentry into the real world, instead of just removing them from the gene pool for a few years.
