Study shows denying prisoners parole does little to reduce crime

Keeping inmates in prison past their earliest parole dates does little to reduce crime, according to a study released today by a Michigan public policy group.

The findings come as Michigan plans to parole 3,000 more felons this year than in previous years to curb skyrocketing prison costs.

    • well I'm often outspoken in my beliefs on treatment of prisoners, but I say it depends on the crime, if they have killed, just kill them the day after they're given their sentence, if they have committed rape, kill them as well, no jail time, saves on costs and gives a swift punishment to people who hardly deserve color tv, three hot meals a day and shrinks to gripe to which overcrowded prisons offer them.
