One violent offender is released early, and this DA is up in arms. Law enforcement folks can't keep it honest. For years, the parole board effected a parole regime that actually extended inmates' sentences beyond their original sentence to prison. The DA didn't complain then. Sentences have gotten too long, which explains why parole was being used. This DA is not smart enough to connect all the dots. Lots of people are parole eligible, but they're not being paroled. Violent offenders (a fortiori, sex offenders) have the lowest recidivism rates. He forgot to tell you that because he's not honest. It's likely that the offender released is more honest than the complaining DA. If prison sentences were cut in half, I would be for eliminating parole. The DA confers no sense of history regarding criminal justice. He has no business being in his job. The world needs ditch diggers. He might get one of those. Probably wouldn't last and would go on welfare.
