>>"In 2003, Pack's two children -- Troy, 10, and Alana, 7 -- were struck and killed when a drunk driver's car jumped a curb and ran onto a neighborhood sidewalk." OK. Perhaps not the best example, but my point still stands, which is that there is competition for funding and lots of worthy candidates. And lots of better examples I could have used. That one just popped into my mind due to proximity.<< Karen - That's not even a relevant example, much less a good one. What do drunk drivers have to do with letting minor drug offenders out of prison? I agree with you that there is competition for funding. I would also agree that reconsidering who we put in jail in the first place is a good idea. But I don't see any problem at all with letting some people who probably shouldn't be in there in the first place get out early. - Allen
