Article I read a couple weeks ago stated that a lot of these people actually were initially arrested on violent crime charges but plead down to non violent charges. So not all of them are necessarily “non- violent”. Good luck out there folks.

Something progressives at The Advocate or the Governor's Office doesn't want to talk about.....
I guess we should expect an increase in violent crime in New Orleans and Baton Rouge in the near future.

It’s the first step in a comprehensive criminal justice package aimed at prison populations that have made Louisiana a leader for having the nation’s highest incarceration rate
Want to fix Louisiana's high incarceration problem? Let the prisoners out early! Great idea. Don't fix the real issues of Louisiana's high crime rate. Just let them poor boys off easy.

“Non-violent” is a gray area. A lot of violent offenders plea-deal down to a non-violent conviction. DA’s gotta keep that conviction rate up.

They consider property crimes as non-violent. Enjoy the increase in burglaries, car theft, fraud, etc. You people who think it is all about weed, be happy. You have been sold a bill of goods again.

good. locking up nonviolent offenders for years and years is medieval thinking
I wonder how many of these were charged with violent offenses and pled down to "non-violent" offenses.

Locking up citizens for low end drug charges is a waste of tax payor money and a poor distribution of state resources. Free Boosie, he didnt dunufen

What is the additional risk to me when John Doe is released from his possession sentence?

How does this work?

I know one being released. His past charges include 2nd degree agh batt, attempted feticide, several domestics and theft charges. Maybe he is doing time for a drug charge but only because previously victims were always afraid to testify against him and it took a drug charge to finally get a conviction. I’d hardly call him “ non-violent”

Incarceration for criminal convictions =/= big gubmint vs. small government. Nice deflection.
We could have the smallest federal government possible, but still need to incarcerate legitimately convicted criminals.

Is he doing 42 months instead of 48 ????? OMG RAPE ERRRWHERE

The local sheriffs aren't making the decision to release, the Department of Corrections is.
My bad, I read it out of context. Who from the Dept. of corrections is taking responsibility if their decisions crate new victims?

Let the re-incarceration games begin!

As a former inmate, your opinion is slanted and cannot carry any weight.
What are you getting your side piece for her birthday in 30 days?

Under the new law, nonviolent offenders are eligible for “good time” release after serving 35 percent of their sentence — down from 40 percent before the change, which is retroactive.
Wait wait wait, that's it? So a guy with a 10 year sentence is getting out in 3.5 years instead of 4? Is this really some drastic change?
Fwiw, property crimes and things like fraud shouldn't be eligible.
