I subscribed to The Angolite Magazine, the award winning Angola prison magazine run by inmate Wilbert Rideau. I had it for one year in the mid 80s.
The most shocking study they did involved false or wrongful imprisonment.
The conclusion was that 80% of Angola prisoners were actually innocent of any crimes.
Methodology was great. They did a survey of all prisoners asking the question:
Did you commit the crime?
Yes: 20%
No: 80%

Angola is full of lying Dems?
Who knew?
The irony is that JBE doesn’t give two fricks about the slave labor system in place.

If true, a law suit will get those imprisoned beyond their release date a pay day.

Are these the womenz on their cell phones at any window of a government agency?

It's called illegal detention/imprisonment.
I just learned that once a prisoner is released they do not get all of their rights back provided by the US Constitution. How can they be released yet their rights are not given back to them? This guy did his time, plus 5 years of parole. Meanwhile, for the next 10 years, he can not go hunting or protect his family with any kind of firearm yet his crime was white collar with no guns involved whatsoever. Nicest person you would ever want to meet.
No wonder the recidivism rate is so high.

Is Louisiana law enforcement crooked, or just inept?

When the state offers early release they can attach any conditions they like. The inmate is free to accept or decline and serve out his full sentence

I agree. I sincerely hope that the new Twitter becomes the primary news source and puts the MSM out of business...forever.

The problem is that government employees have immunity...so they can't be brought to trial or even sued. We need to END this immunity so that those RESPONSIBLE MUST BE HELD LIABLE CRIMINALLY AND FINANCIALLY.

The right to vote and the right to bear arms are revoked automatically. If released on probation by court order or because of early release, then many rights are forfeit during that period. Otherwise civil rights are restored UNLESS REVOKED or AMENDED by court order specifically. Example equal predator registration and location of residence etc.
