Tom Payne, 68, served time in 3 states for 3 rapes and was eventually sentenced to life in prison. He was paroled today after serving 30 years.

Tom Payne was granted parole at 10 a.m. Tuesday at the Kentucky State Reformatory in La Grange, after serving more than 30 years for multiple rapes.

“I want to show that a man can be redeemed. A man can come out of here and live a decent life.” Payne told the board in 2016. They denied his request then.

My first thought when I read your title was “Damn a life sentence for playing basketball with white guys? Jim Crow laws were harsh.” Then I read the story and realized he’s a piece of shite that raped three women.

Another example of how effective prison is for redemption. All due credit also to what Jesus can do for those behind bars.
