1,000 plus prisoners to be let go to the streets near you...

[Redtail1949]

my kid works at a prison that holds 1,000 plus arizona prisoners. they recieved notice today that the prison will be shut down the 1,000 plus returned to arizona and an equal amount set free because arizona can not afford to pay for their housing.


this is beginning to be a wider problem for california and arizona...others will follow.

better load up and oil your guns more scum will be roaming the streets.

Tens of thousands of the same people we arrested in Iraq and Afghanistan for their involvement in placing bombs, or firing on our troops, have been set free because the host nations can't contain them. Tough on the troops to see the guy who placed the IED that killed your buddy walking free because he promised he'd be good. Psychologically, it had a collective effect on nearly everyone, and robbed a lot of morale. Might've made some less prone to detain a bad guy.

This'll be tough on the victims and their families, not to mention the LEOs who risked their lives to put them behind bars. Sure it'll be 1,000 near parolees, nonviolent or the "truly rehabilitated," but that's not a reassurance to anybody. Psychological effect on the population they're released into is bound to be one of greater fear and animosity towards the government. I would imagine LEOs would have their faith in the system stretched as well.

no doubt as to the effect on those that put them behind bars as well as those that kept them there. the victims families as well have to be affected.  the so called harmless offenders are not always what they say they are. it will only add to the crime rate and dangers the public will face. take just a few billion of the obama giveaway dollars and put into the prisons. but no we can not do that we gotta set em free. kill all those on death row that have no chance (upcoming DNA stuff) of ever being free and clear out that scum. follow the law and do the will of the people. no can not do that either.

we are in for some hard days ahead.

Do not believe that for one minute.  Nearly every state in the US is well noted for releasing violent felon scumbags in order to make room for non-violent offenders.
