What safe gaurds would you build against premature releases? Well, one thing we could do is set the criteria on the cautious side. There is no fixed "sentence" that we're dealing with. If society wants to err on the safe side, it can, even if that means that the criminal has to wait to get on with his life. Another thing is that the "maybe" tier would be segregated from the hard core criminals in a facility that would be designed to get to know the criminals and to assess them. That's very different from what we have now. We use teachers and bosses and parents all the time to determine when someone is ready for the next level. The officials in a facility designed to evaluate readiness would be about to do much better than the mechanisms we have now. Yes, there would be some mistakes. There is no guarantee of absolute safety. It would be better than what we do now which is to let people out after they've served their time knowing full well that most of them will commit more crimes.
