It won't happen, although I can see a certain justice in the idea.
But cheer up. I've never heard anybody claim that Leavenworth was a
country club prison. That would be a much more just fate than Stewie
and dummydog's idea of letting them go.

What of it, if some old hunks of a sea-captain orders me to get a
broom and sweep down the decks? What does that indignity amount to,
weighed, I mean, in the scales of the New Testament? Do you think
the archangel Gabriel thinks anything the less of me, because I
promptly and respectfully obey that old hunks in that particular
instance? Who ain't a slave? Tell me that. -- Herman Melville
