i think you guys are blowing this out of proportion. seriously did any one of you read the article?
Quote:
The program, created by Senate Bill X3 18, became effective in January 2010. Under this program, the Department of Corrections is allowed to release from state prison a limited number of nonviolent, nonserious and nonsex offenders with no parole conditions and no parole supervision. These felons cannot have their parole revoked, even if they commit future crimes.
In theory, only the least violent and least risky felons who have served their time would qualify for non-revocable parole status, and the parole system would use fewer resources and cost the state less money. In practice, thousands of violent and dangerous prisoners have been erroneously freed without parole supervision or parole restrictions.

the whole article is about how the california prison systems are erroneously letting violent criminals out because their system sucks dick. the real program was set up to let out nonviolent criminals that didn't have a previous charge that included violent crime or sex related crimes.
of course the california prison systems are going to put out an article like this with a scary title that gets all you idiots up in arms. THEY MAKE MONEY OFF OF KEEPING PEOPLE IN PRISON! they also know morons like you guys don't read shit, you see a title and take it for face value. next thing you know a bill like this gets overturned in court because you idiots didn't read the fine print. when in fact it is a good bill put in place for a good reason.
