The system isn't working.

Since 2002 33 parolees have been linked to 38 murders here in Colorado. I doubt we are the worst state but I haven't researched the others.

and

In nearly every murder in which a Colorado parolee was convicted or accused, The Post found a breakdown in the system that was supposed to monitor them:

• Three parolees who killed had been arrested or charged with a crime while on parole, two of them accused of brutalizing the women they would later murder. Police investigated another who was not arrested.

• Nine parolees who murdered had warrants out for their arrest but had not been picked up or were missing.

• Twenty-nine of the parolees committed violations ranging from using cocaine and moving without permission before they were arrested for murder.

• A third of parolees who murdered left prison with no home but for a shelter or motel.

• Five had been suggested for intensive supervision parole, which requires electronic monitoring and state-paid drug testing, but were placed on lower supervision levels. Three were not placed on intensive supervision because of budget constraints or program caps.

• More than half of the convicted killers spent time in solitary confinement in prison, deemed too violent and unpredictable to live among the general population; three were released directly from what is known as administrative segregation to the streets.

• Rehabilitation was absent in many cases. One murderer tagged for drug treatment was wait-listed for a substance-abuse program and released from prison, walking out on the streets never having received the class. In another case, a sex offender never received treatment and while on parole killed the daughter of a lover who had spurned him.
