GOP Lawmakers Seek To Toughen State's Stance on Paroling Inmates

Submitted by Jaik Schubert, Feb 11, 2008 00:43

Hello, There seems to be a vigorous attempt to delay the release of inmates convicted of homicide and other crimes. The impression is that the state is releasing these men to prey on our communities. Is this happening. All the statistics point to lower crime rates, lower recidivism ates and lower inmate population. Let's stop ,the hysteria and get the facts to the people. Are these parolees committing crimes, re-offending, threatening our communities? Stats say no. Let's clear the air and stop all the fear-mongering.
