Holden wanted to expand the East Baton Rouge Parish prison.
That's because EBR is spending tons of money on transferred prisoners.

I'm for it.
The United States leads the world in incarceration.
Louisiana leads the United States in incarceration.

Ummm, those who are responsible for making the decisions to put criminals out on the street?
So, Congress. That's cool then. Just to be clear, I have no stance on this as I have not researched it. I could listen to an argument for raising the percentage of time before release. I just don't think 5% is that big of a real life deal and was obviously passed to manipulate some numbers.

We shouldn’t make people out to be criminals over every single thing..... that’s the issue

Are we simply releasing criminals, or are we adjusting our policies to match those of those states that have had success with those policies, and the release is just a product of that adjustment?

I don't say this often, but Supersaint is exactly right in this thread. This is not the big deal ya'll are making it out to be. If the inmate gets doesn't learn his lesson and commits another crime, that's just what was gonna happen. That additional 5% of jail sentence wasn't gonna change that. Also, I haven't heard anything about the loosening of probation/parole restrictions and I'm pretty sure I would know if that's the case since I'm on both.

They are not telling anyone the truth about this whole deal.

Say, for example that John Smith, with five past convictions, goes into a convenience store and robs them with a gun. The law provides a sentence for this type of crime. Say it is 20 years. The DA, to keep his percentages up, pleas it down to Felony farting in an Elevator, punishable by 3 years.
JS goes to prison, does 1 year, then is let out to appease those who say we incarcerate too many. It is almost guaranteed that JS is going to create more victims.
Sometimes the sentences should be to protect the public from sub humans that cannot stop breaking the law. It is not always about punishment. Some people are just not able to live in society without harming others.
How about if we just convict of the crime they committed, then let them do their time? We should all demand that our justice system do the right thing. We can start by taking those like Trudy white, dragging them out in the street, and horse whipping them.
frick everybody who allows the good citizens to be thrown into a game of roulette to see if they will be the next victim.

This is my biggest issue with the judicial system. Ive never met a prosecutor that cared about anything other than a conviction rate.

I partly agree because that is part of the issue. Laws based in theocracy should be done away with.
If you want to know why all the archaic drug laws exist, follow the money. Somebody in power profits off of keeping them on the books. Fines, fees, etc. all add up. It used to be a saying in LA that no drug deal over $500 occurs in a parish without the Sheriff knowing about it. This was when $500 was worth a lot more than now.
Follow the money.

i've got a better idea to reduce prison overcrowding
start killing everyone in for life sentences, why the hell we pay more to care for and keep these bastards living a "relatively" good life behind bars is beyond me
if they arenever geting out stop spending 400k a year to care for them when a 50 cent bullet saves millions of dollars and cuts incarceration numbers in half
plus those dindu nuttins arent going to be so quick to kill if the get a bullet instead of 3 hots and a cot if they get caught since most dont have 3 hots and a cot on the outside so jail is a better life

I'm ok with this. Most, if not all, will be people convicted of petty drug crimes. I'd imagine most of those revolve around weed and probably shouldn't have been in jail anyways.

My Roving LEO Sniper Program would have the same result, but eliminate a lot of steps along the way.

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.
Some are from white collar crimes too. I know a guy getting out after serving 2 of 5 for fraud. He doesn't have a violent bone in his body, just a snake oil salesman.

Hey smartass, it doesn't take a genius to figure out what kind of inmates will be released. If you need a link for that and can't use common sense, you're an idiot.

Sounds like a "bad time" for us citizens who have to welcome these fine folks back into society
But muh tax dollars paying for these inmates in jail.
I have no issue with petty drug offenders getting off...
