North Monroe robbery suspect part of state’s early release program

Just disgusting. A palpable increase in crime in a small, tight knit community starting in early November and now we know why. Come on Governor Honor Code defenders, get in here, tell us how releasing those offenders was a great idea.

Alston and Capers were booked on additional burglary charges over the past 24 hours. Brown said they could face over 20 counts for burglaries in north Monroe and the parish. Brown said the department feels hopeful some items will be returned to property owners, including a gun recovered from one suspect. Brown said MPD is extremely proud of the efforts of detectives and officers working this case and their efforts to find those responsible for the burglaries. Both Alston and Capers served time and were released on Nov. 1 according to the MPD.

The department would not confirm if the suspects were released as part of the Justice Reinvestment Act, which saw hundreds of people released from incarceration early statewide starting on Nov. 1. However, a list of offenders released statewide, has the names of Alston and Capers stating they were in custody in Union Parish. Per the report, Alston was sentenced in October of 2016, and Capers was sentenced in March of 2014. Brown said both were previously convicted of burglary charges. Bond on the current charges was set at $200,000. The increased burglaries in north Monroe started in November

There will be somewhere between 12-15% recidivism so try to calm down. Of the 1,900 initially released 2 didnt show up for mandatory probation appointments, 2.

Robbery and Burglary aren't the same thing.
I agree with reducing sentences of non violent offenders. Robbery is a crime of violence.
That said. You get one pass then throw the book at them.

Just remember, no one released was a violent offender.... too bad they didnt have the common sense to anticipate them being repeat offenders.

Ok, I'm sick of our poor, broke dick state spending what money we do have on leading the world in incarcerating people.
They were caught, nobody was hurt and they are going to jail for a long time.

What kind of people did they release? I never really read any articles about it. I just assumed it would be people charged with petty offences. Like weed possession and bullshite like that.
It seems they let out some with more serious charges and/or convictions, which is just fricking stupid.

Well, it could be said that this is to be expected when non-violent criminals are sent to the institutions of higher criminal learning. A few have "graduated". Let's hope none made it out with a Master's of Criminal Behavior, or a PhD, when they went in with a GED equivalent.

Too bad the homeowners didn't remove their heads from their torsos saving us all monies during this holiday season.'

Maybe semantically but the end result is the same. I know some of the victims, one was home at the time of the burglary. She was terrified.

Just cause they show up for an appt, it doesn't mean they are not committing crimes............ Most are smart enough to stay out of jail by showing up for a silly appt, except 2 of course

End the war on drugs, cut the prison population significantly, and there'd be room and funds to keep true criminals locked up without early release.
But no. The prison industrial complex is in full swing. And private prisons aren't going away.

Even if we had passed an “extra time” law, these offenders were getting out eventually,
It sucks that some assholes released early are committing new crimes, but those assholes would have probably done the same thing if they had been locked up another six months on your tax dollars,

To be fair, statistically this is inevitable. Not because it was a bad decision but because if you take a random cross-section of 1900 from virtually any demographic at least one of them will commit a felony.
Around 17 out of every 1900 American adults are behind bars and that number is even more skewed when you consider males only.
Take the last 1900 graduates of Catholic High and at least one will commit a felony this year. Most likely 5+. What does that say about CHS? Absolutely nothing.
