I keep asking myself why does the piece of trash we call a president continue to do the things he does? What is his goal? And the only answer I can possibly consider is his genuine distaste for this country, and his wish to destroy America as we know it. 6,600 felons will be released, a quota of 75,000 Syrian refugees that can't be checked to see if they are terrorist, creating division in race relations throughout the country, and blaming police for a non existent problem. It's just incredible this can happen and there is no one to stop it.
Great so they expect a recidivism rate of 43.8% instead of 47.8%, or roughly 44 people not 48 will return to being crackheads. This is good? Again what is the thinking and who will be watching?
So lets dump these people on the street no place to live, in a incredibly stagnant job market, and see what additional turmoil they can create in an already society racial untension and police being blamed for everything. Oh and lets not forget lack of funding to watch them. Who is the dumb ass who thought of this policy??
"The biggest federal inmate release on record will take place this weekend.
About 6,600 inmates will be released, with 16,500 expected to get out the first year. More than 40,000 federal felons could be released early over the next several years, the U.S. Sentencing Commission said.
The sentencing commission decided a year ago to lower maximum sentences for nonviolent drug offenders and to make the change retroactive, with the inmate releases effective November 1, 2015. Sentences were reduced an average of 18%, the commission said.
Early release will be a challenge for the inmates as well as the judicial bureaucracy."

"Two-thirds of those going to the St. Louis area will reside in halfway houses and the rest will go directly into the community.
"We have had a full year to prepare for this," he said. "The U.S. Courts have made it clear that if the workload becomes too strong, that they have supplemental funding. We're optimistic that this is going to work just fine."
Burris said he would like additional funding for drug treatment, job training and more officers. If the inmates break the law, probation officers can petition the court to have inmates' supervision revoked and return them to prison, he said
"We've been down this road twice before," Burris said. "We had two prior crack releases and those went just fine."
Inmates released early don't re-offend at a higher rate than other inmates, the sentencing commission found.
After crack cocaine sentencing guidelines were changed in 2007, a five-year study was conducted. It found 47.8% of crack cocaine inmates who served their full terms re-offended, compared to 43.3% of crack cocaine inmates released early."

"New York City Police Commissioner Bill Bratton said the main problem will be finding adequate staffing to supervise the released inmates. Because of the budget resolution in Congress, the parole department cannot hire more parole officers, he said.
"So who's going to watch these people when they go out on parole?" he said. "And that's effectively what's going on, they're going to be out on parole."
With the commission study concluding that getting out early didn't really matter -- the re-offense rate was about the same -- that leaves the question: Who benefits from early release, the Bureau of Prisons or the prisoners themselves?"
