Meet 57-year-old James Fulton.
Fulton has been incarcerated in Florida for more than 31 years while serving a sentence of life without parole. He previously served two short prison sentences for possession of small amounts of crack cocaine. His most serious crime is talking about buying drugs. In August 1990, Fulton conspired to buy two ounces of cocaine from an undercover police officer. Drugs never changed hands during the “deal.” It was his third drug offense. He was sentenced to natural life — the same sentence given for murder. He is sentenced to die in prison without ever buying the drugs.
