Sacramento DA opposes release of non violent second strikers, Humboldt should too

If you read my blog regularly, I include the background of people arrested. Often crimes escalate, there are repeat offenders and probation and early release does not help.


Excerpt:

The point of incarceration is for a debt to be paid to society for a crime committed against it.

"Now that victim's given a promise by this community that that person would get 12 years, yet it's all been undone and they get out in 50 percent of the time and that's disturbing to me," Sacramento County District Attorney Ann Marie Schubert said.

So disturbing, that Schubert is posting names of so-called "non-violent second strikers" cleared for early release and opposition to each such case on her website.

"(Early release) is just a mechanism to reduce the prison population," said Schubert.

She says the reduction quotas federal courts told California it needed to meet have actually been exceeded and now the continual release of offenders is compromising public safety.
