Not getting timely released from jail after sentence ends

Searched, didn't see a thread.
I don't care how "tough on crime" one is, this is absolutely unacceptable. How is this even a thing with all the tech and tools available to us.
When your sentence ends, you go home. If no one is available to send you home, we give you a bus ticket home. We are supposed to have re-entry programs in place that handle all of this.

Louisiana’s prison system and local jails, including the Orleans Justice Center, routinely keep people locked up for weeks, months, some even years, after they are supposed to be released, according to a 2017 state auditor’s report, defense attorneys and former inmates.

It’s like the old saying goes...Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time (plus whatever fricking time they decide to keep you just for the hell of it.)

Louisiana DOC got another set of rules ... that they make up as they go... it’s completely separate from local and state policies

The haphazard manner in which DOC calculates time is one of the main drivers of overdetention and has resulted in multiple lawsuits, two of which the department recently settled for a total $250,000, records show.

If people don’t care about the injustice of it, Cameron said, maybe they’ll be concerned about the money wasted incarcerating two men long past their lawful release dates. The state overdetained Owens and Chowns a combined 2,216 days. At an average cost of $54.20 per day to house an inmate, that’s an extra $120,107 taxpayers spent – not including the court settlements that came later.
quote:
Corrections previously attempted to replace CAJUN in 2015. It invested $3.6 million in a new data system that went live in June of that year but was taken down 46 days later because DOC didn’t properly test it or train staff in its use, the auditor wrote. In October 2017, the state paid third-party contractor Sirius Computer Solutions $49,000 to determine if the new system could be salvaged. Sirius concluded it could not. DOC spokesman Ken Pastorick said they are working on a new replacement system, though he did not provide a date when it might be online.
Someone call Together Baton Rouge. Crap like this, is why the state "is poor".

That works unless you start getting arrested for crimes you are not guilty of.

Keeping the jail filled keeps the money coming.

Imagine sitting in jail, knowing you should be a free man by the letter of the law and order of a judge, and not being able to leave the jail for months because they just haven't gotten around to it.
That is so incredibly fricked up.

If you are sentenced and finish that sentence, you are released. They did the time and deserve to be out when their sentence is over.
You sound like a dumbass.

We've had lawsuits or false imprisonment for this type of situation in MS.

The sheriff’s office claims its hands are tied. Once a judge sentences someone to DOC custody, even if in the next breath the judge credits the person for time served, the sheriff’s office no longer has authority over that inmate, an OPSO spokesman wrote in a statement for this story. The only way they could free such a person is if DOC orders their release.
To get such a release, the sheriff’s office first must send the inmate’s paperwork to the department of corrections. But it doesn’t do so electronically. Once a week, every Thursday, an OPSO employee actually drives 68 miles to the Elayn Hunt Correctional Center in St. Gabriel to hand-deliver that week’s paperwork. The sheriff’s office then holds the inmate indefinitely until it hears back from DOC. For Grant, this took 13 days.
Holy crap. What happens if the person gets in an accident on the way to the facility and all the paperwork gets burned up?

The LA prison system is rife with corruption. Warden Samuel Norton of Shawshank routinely comes down to LA to take notes

shite man, the person served their time.
It's fascist to keep em in beyond. If they earned a new sentence on the inside that's y'know a new trial.
GA vs Rick Allen

I expect a lot of suits such as these are being drafted and filed as we speak. State of LA loves throwing away money on incompetence.

I think they should build more prisons and expand ones already in place.
