Early prison release

According to the Oct. 7 story U.S. to release 6,000 inmates, this will be the largest one-time release of federal prisoners. Another 8,550 inmates will be eligible for release between by Nov. 1, 2016.

I wonder how many of these offenders will lead fulfilling lives in their communities and how many will be obtaining guns. I also wonder if the people they have wronged will think that releasing them early will not be giving the victims justice.
