>> Why would you fear non-violent offenders?

The article didn't stipulate non-violent offenders.

In fact, here is what one article said:

"Some methods of cutting the population include limiting new admissions, changing policies so parole violators return to prison less frequently, and giving prisoners more time off of their sentences for good behavior and rehabilitation efforts."

Now, the man who killed my brother was sentenced to 15 years. He was out in 3.

Do you think reducing sentences for good behavior and rehabilitation effort is a good idea? I can damned well say it isn't.
