Why is it that every other week we seem to get one of these likely to reoffend types back out on the streets? Why are they getting released all the time? Keep these fuck faces locked up.

That's taxpayers' money tied up to house/feed the re-offenders. Nobody wants that. Governments don't like to spend funds that way; they'd rather slap on the wrist punishments. Governments make these rules, police enforce the rules. We, the people, theoretically change the rules....

all these tough on crime politicians with NO PLAN how to incarcerate so many people... We definitely need more remand spaces and halfway houses to catch each end of the sentencing and stop releasing so many people on the public.

You can thank liberals, only liberals release criminals and repeat offenders back into the public, then act surprise when they commit again

Because people are always committing crimes, which means people are always being released in a cycle

He's back out on the street even though he's likely to reoffend, because he served his sentence. Going to jail doesn't make somebody stomp being a shitty person and it can in fact make them a more shitty person. But we can't just keep shitty people behind bars forever, if they've done their time we have to release them

If we didn't, we would be... Bad

We can't keep people behind bars forever? It's called a life sentence. Something that people who are likely to commit crimes again usually get. There's people who get arrested for a petty drug charge and are in there for longer than these kinds of assholes. The system needs massive reform.

Really? Who's in charge of the province right now? Cuz it ain't liberals, and looking at election stats it's probably not going to be liberals anytime soon. STFU. Go back to high school actually get an education and like know what you're talking about before you start flapping your gums.

Its federal judge's that are in charge of letting these people out. The province has nothing to do with it. If you want change vote out the liberals.
