The main function of prisons is to keep the criminals away from law-abiding society. Note that the guy's accomplice continued his criminal behavior inside prison.
That said, 10-15 is more than enough for this kind of crime.

Indeed. When he gets two-three murders worth of time without murdering anyone, you really have to question the proportionality of the whole thing.
They both definitely deserved jail time. I'm certain the crimes had an impact on the people they robbed and threatened.
And I agree, 10-15, MAYBE up to 20 is proportionate. 90 years is not.
And it's not only from a moral standpoint - the economics of it are ridiculous, too. The social harm done from two robberies is not worth the cost of locking someone up until they die.
Really? I thought it was about correcting/reforming.
Joking aside, I think that using prisons just for isolation is a waste of tax payer money.
Just think about at the case at hand, we are wasting the money needed to keep this guy in jail for another 8 decades with no actual reasons.
edit: fix grammar
In fact the only place where I saw "Correctional Facility" was in US-movies and series, I thought it was some fictional name or something like that.
(It is also clearly apparent that some criminals are unreformable - telling the difference a priori remains the hard part).
Yes, he's been reformed. Just not in a good way. Not in a way that does anything to try to fit him back into society.
