Releasing Prisoners

Its not quite legally settled yet, but California has been ordered to release roughly 46,000 prisoners due to extreme overcrowding. The order has hit the Supreme Court.

Its an issue that has personal resonance. I believe there are far more people already free in our society who are quite willing to cause significant harm to others.

I just hope the violent offenders are kept in prison.
