Pampering Assassins

Filed under: Legal Matters

chapman.jpg

It's nice to hear that even murders get treated well in jail!

In fact, John Lennon's crazy killer has been enjoying conjugal visits with his wife for the past 16 years.

Mark David Chapman killed Lennon back in December of 1980 and has since been serving time in the Attica Correctional Facility.

Chapman is up for parole this week for the fifth time. He's been denied four times since he became eligible back in 2000.

Since at least 1992, he's been part of the prison's "family reunion" program.

Thanks to the program, Chapman gets to spend up to 44 hours straight with his crazy ass wife in a special "private homelike setting" location.

We still can't figure out why someone would stay married to a killer.

Inside the unit, which is surrounded by a fence, there are no cameras or guards.

His wife, Gloria Hiroko Chapman, was married to Chapman when he committed the murder. She still lives in Hawaii though she visits Chapman once a year or more.

A rep for the prison facility says the goal of the program is to "preserve and strengthen family ties that have been disrupted as a result of incarceration." Adding that it is designed to "foster positive and responsible conduct" and "facilitate postrelease reintegration into the family and community, thereby reducing the likelihood of recidivism."

Yoko Ono had submitted an emotional letter in 2000 stating she feared for her safety, for the safety of Lennon's kids, and even for Chapman's safety if he was released.

She has since again sent word that her position has not changed.

    he looks so much like perez its a little freaky.
    but i wouldnt let him out, anyone that has killed
    anyone deserves to rot in jail.



  3. 3

    o wow



  4. 4

    First! Is it just me, or does this mugshot look like Perez himself?? Hmmm …



  5. 5

    ummm perez….he looks like your twin. 20 pounds ago. creepy.



  6. 6

    This sick bastard should never be allowed to see the light of day again.



  7. 7

  8. 8

    kill him. "Goodbye To Love" John Lennon told me that he loved my voice.



  9. 9

    long live jeffrey dahmer



  10. 10

    he looks like Perez…highlarious!!



  11. 11

    That guy is a freak, plain and simple. RIP John Lennon, we love you.
    >> IMAGINE PEACE



  12. 12

    I totally thought that this was a picture of PEREZ!!!!! Does anyone else see the striking resemblance?



  13. 13

    ugly fuck.



  14. 14

    I hate when people say first, but I have to! FIRST! I can't believe these people get this much visitation! It is supposed to be jail!



  15. 15

    That's bullshit. Chapman shouldn't be aloud visits from anyone. Yoko doesn't get to see John anymore so it isnt fair he gets "conjugal visits" with his wife. He took away someone's partner, he should have his taken away.



  16. 16

    I love John Lennon.
    Rest in Peace.



  17. 17

    When Jared Leto was fat, he looked exactly like him, with a few manipulation of course. He's probably having some nasty ass sex with his wife during that homelike setting!



  18. 18

    Free food - free place to sleep - and visits for sex - It's like committing a crime equals winning the lottery!! He needs to be locked away where no one can see him…..ever



  19. 19

    I've been to prison. State prison SUCKS ASS, but if I ever had to go back for another round, I'd hope it'd be federal and not state. Everything's much better — food, housing, clothes, supplies, food, name it.



  20. 20

    seperated at birth with…?
    kinda looks like you perez…creepy



  21. 21

    25

    Actually I think he looks like Jason Davis aka gummi Bear.



  26. 26

    What about the family ties that were severed when he shot John, a husband and father? Unfortunately, Yoko and kids can't visit John.

  27. JeNaY says – reply to this


    27

    Wow Perez….you should put your pic on a side-by-side with this one



  28. 28

  29. 29

    LOOKS LIKE PEREZ IN A FEW YEARS



  30. 30

    I thought liberals supported pampering criminals? Are you sure you're not one of us REPUBLICANS Perez? J/K :p



  31. 31

    perezzer's twin…..LOL



  32. 32

    Re: scotthewshahhahaha…yes!! that fat, double-chinned face does look like perez's!!!!!!! GOOD OBSERVATION!!



  33. 33

    What about the Lennon family ties he fucked up? Why is this bastard even still alive? Death to him.

    xoxo, Isa



  34. 34

    KILLING A LEGEND LIKE JOHN LENNON DESERVES THE DEATH PENALTY IF YOU ASK ME



  35. 35

    So he gets conjugal visits…what's the big deal? Here in Canada, inmates can earn 48 hour visits with their families and the visits take place in a little bungalow within the gates of the institution. It's not like they let 'em out so they can go bang their wife for a couple of days. The wife is searched thoroughly before being allowed in, even more thorough than for regular visitations, to ensure she's not bringing any contraband into the duplex, and as far as i know the inmate has to pay for any groceries they will use during the stay.

    Why are people so shocked when a killer's wife chooses to stand by her husband? Obviously she loved him enough to marry him. That love doesn't necessarily dissipate just because her husband killed someone. I hate Chapman's guts and I wish he were dead, he killed my idol and stole from the world a brilliant peace activist and song writer whose words are still relevant today. BUT, as an inmate, he's allowed to have the same privileges as others on the inside, whether we like it or not. I know I'm going to get trounced for my views, so let the bashing commence! ;)



  36. 36

    a lot of crimes are committed by people with mental disorders. it's not a blanket excuse but he needed to be locked up - YES. He obviously needed severe help in getting back to "normal". This is what our criminal justice should strive to be like - setting up programs in which helps them see/feel what having a normal life can be. So when he DOES get out, he'll be better and no harm to society like he once was.

    37

    i agree with "lovlie", i have too always thought he looked like Perez ewwwwwwwww



  38. 38

    How dare they do such a thing to Lennon and his whole family?
    What has this world become?
    There is no reason for him to be released at all
    28 YEARS LATER WE STILL MOURNE OVER THE LOSS OF A GREAT SINGER and SONG WRITER.
    John Lennon shaped the world of music as we know it and his murderer should
    be punished and stay punished till his last breathe.
    I'm sorry but I love the Beatles and John Lennon



  39. 39

    that lunatic's gonna rot in jail.

    that's what you get for killing such a peaceful man.



  40. 40

    Re: scotthews – oh my gosh. i thought he photoshopped his face on there as a joke. i'm not even trying to be rude right now.



  41. 41

    convicted killers should not be able to get their fuck on in prison unless it's with a guy named bubba with a big black porno dick



  42. 42

    dude that looks just like Perez!



  43. 43

    Peoples rights are taken away when they commit murder. I dont believe they shouldn't allow him the rights that we have!
    Writting that leter was probably the only good thing YOko ever did.

    PS, Finally some interesting news perez!

  44. LSD says – reply to this


    44

    Re: Daisha loves Perez – That's right. An Eye for an Eye!! Not only did this sick fuck take John away from Yoko, he took John away from the rest of the world. We could use a guy like him in this day & age when we need his voice the most. And it's an obvious reason why they don't parole him - there's a lot of pissed off fans that could possibly take his life as well. But that would be the easy way out. I say…..let his ass rot in jail for the rest of his life. WITHOUT THE VISITS!!!!



  45. 45

    haha
    i thought i was the only one who thought he looked like perez!
    woahh
    do i see a seperated at birth post coming up…
    lol



  46. 46

    perez is a killer??
    that looks just like him….
    he photoshopped his face- any press is good press i guess!!!!



  47. 47

    Murderers should not be allowed ANY rights.

    Chapman should sit alone in his prison cell and left alone to rot.



  48. 48

    OMG!!!!!!! He looks like you Perez!!!

    He should stay in jail forever



  49. 49

    that whole fam reunion program is bullshitz! Lennon cant come back from the dead once a year to spend time with his family, why should this boofy loser?



  50. 50

    Re: razzberri – haha canada sucks.



  51. 51

    Ha ha ha… wow, that does look a lot like Perez pre weightloss. I will be very disappointed if he does not do a "separated at birth".



  52. 52

    Earn cash back on your purchases at over 600+ retail stores! Go to shoptoearn.net/klchadwick or shoptoearth.net/klchadwick No selling or inventory involved! Not a get rich quick scheme. Take a look for yourself at the huge retail partners!



  53. 53

    If my husband killed someone, I'd let his murderous ass rot in jail!! Hopefully some large scary inmate would take him in as his bitch.

    I would change my name and go into the witness protection program…please that is taking the "in sickness and health" thing a bit far.



  54. 54

    heeeeey- He looks just like Perez bahahaha



  55. 55

    isn't this guy like a sociopath? yep, i highly doubt he'll be normal.



  56. 56

    Something…is pretty freaking wacked out in our judicial system when your "punishment' for taking a life includes playing house with and banging your spouse for not just hours but days and weeks at a time.
    I am formerly pro-capital punishment and have softened my view on sentencing BUT not THAT far!
    Somewhere along the line somebody forgets this yoyo killed a man -deliberately.
    It just floors me when I see shit like this!



  57. 57

    I say grant him Parole… so someone can get him! He took one of the most gifted people we have ever had and killed him as if it was nothing… prison is too good for him.



  58. 58

    Um, Perez… This guy looks like you.

    Any relation???



  59. 59

    That's fucking nothing! You libs let John Hinckley out for unsupervised visits at home because you're hoping he'll try and shoot more Republican presidents. Fucking retarded commies.



  60. 60

    Wow, Perez he really looks like you!!



  61. 61

That bastard decided to take a beautiful person from his family and the world. I try not to promote violence or human suffering, but that sick f*ck deserves absolutely nothing but four walls and his sick ass brain.

  74. 74

    He shouldnt be allowed any rights, he took someones life!
    A very talented and amazing person who did great things.

    If this douchebag gets out and goes after Sean Lennon I'll have to go after him myself.

    of day! He killed my favorite singer. Damn him and his wife too. No one who
    kills on purpose whould get any kind of this treatment! I know people who have done less and don't get nothing! Sick!

  87. 87

    I think it is terrible that Yoko and other victims have to live through the pain of their loved one's death every time the creep is up for parole. And the guy gets visits from his wife? Rediculous!! We need to start treating these people like what they really are….murderers.
