But you're just allowing yourself to be manipulated by what a news agency shows you... not what the actual facts are.

How many people are released from prison every day? What percentage re-offend immediately?

You only hear about the ones that go wrong in a big way... a nicely packaged story once a week about xyz guy who got out of prison and then got high as fuck and stole a car and crashed into a bus stop Mildred was sitting at. You don't hear about the other 900 people who got let out and then started trying to piece their life back together, find a place to live, find a job... all while saddled with a criminal record and likely no or even less family support than they had before they got put away?

But that's a boring story until they do something GTA because they can't get anywhere or have anything in a system that's totally broken unless your parents support the shit out of you or you've got major hookups right? And then suddenly you feel like society is full of miscreants just waiting to take a piece of your action. It's simply not true, just fear mongering at its worst.
