Don’t worry, they’ve been rehabilitated, right? In another demonstration that the government in California has more compassion for convicted criminals than it does the victims of their crimes, the state is set to release 10,000 convicted sex offenders back into the community.
Why are they doing this? It’s because of prison overpopulation and the fact that citizens voted in 2016 on Proposition 57, which is supposed to allow for early release by those in jail who are alleged to have not been engaged in a violent crime.
According to The Daily Caller, “Now, those convicted of pimping minors, incest, or child pornography possession are eligible for release.”
I’m sorry, but seriously? Some of these should warrant a death penalty, not jail time.
However, according to the LA Times, Sacramento County Superior Court Judge Allen Sumner preliminarily ordered prison officials to rewrite part of the regulations for Proposition 57.
While the ballot seemed to give provisions that might apply to all inmates, Governor Jerry Brown promised to exclude sex offenders. No surprise here, is it?
“If the voters had intended to exclude all registered sex offenders from early parole consideration under Proposition 57, they presumably would have said so,” Sumner said.
Sumner’s order states that any sex offender who has served time for their offense, even a violent one, but is now serving time for another offense must be eligible for early release.
