The worlds longest term prisoner has been held in prison since 1958! wow that's a long time

William Heirens was incarcerated by the Illinois Department of Corrections on 4 September, 1946. The 79 year old is currently being held at the Dixon Correctional Center, Dixon, Illinois, and has been the state's guest for 61 years. It is possible that he is the longest continuously-held prisoner in the world.
