Fiscal Pressures Lead Some States ti release inmates early

[Judeca]

It is a theory that has long been pushed by criminal justice advocates and liberal politicians -- that some felons, particularly those convicted of minor drug offenses, would be better served by treatment, parole or early release for good behavior. But the states' conversion to that view has less to do with a change of heart on crime than with stark fiscal realities. At a time of shrinking resources, prisons are eating up an increasing share of many state budgets.

It's not about humanity it is about money. Says alot about the human condition doesn't it. They need to stop listening to victims groups and law enforcement on the right things to do. Their only interest is vengeance and job security.
