Hahahahaha
- Up to 10,000 convicted criminals could soon be released early from prisons across Illinois. It's all because of the state's budget mess. Gov. Pat Quinn says cutting those prisoners loose could save more than $100 million. But at what cost to you?
[...] The proposed prisoner release stems from plans to lay off more than 1,000 corrections workers at Stateville Prison and a half-dozen facilities downstate.
The state's making a list of thousands of so-called non-violent inmates with less than one year left to serve who could be released early. The governor says it could save taxpayers $125 million.
Quinn is accused of playing scare tactics to drum up support for his income tax hike. We also hope he's playing chicken with an electorate sick and tired of molly-coddling criminals who are serving tiny portions of prison sentences and then being re-launched upon society to pillage without fear of repercussions. Some law and order types could benefit from this. Republican law and order types - if they exist any more.

One thing I've figured out is that the more people incarcerated, the fewer babys coming down the road,which long term turns out to be a savings, a big one .
Can we follow the lead of a number of other states and send the non-citizen felons back to their home countries?
this is why blago said they wanted him out...to raise taxes
I think that's the same philosophy used by the 019 Dist. Watch commanders and lockup. If you lock someone up there they let them out within 2 hours. Some punishment!
OT: Clout list for U of I law school applicants admitted by direct command from ex-Gov Blago got 2 (TWO) family member (daughters?) admitted.
from Tribune:
"Both are relatives of prominent attorney Kerry Peck, who, along with his law firm, donated more than $120,000 to Blagojevich's campaign fund. The older sibling had letters of recommendation in her application file from Blagojevich, Atty. Gen. Lisa Madigan, Sen. Dick Durbin, Rep. Jan Schakowsky and Cook County State's Atty. Dick Devine -- all of whom received campaign donations from Peck in the preceding years.
The older sibling, who has since passed the bar, could not be reached for comment. She works as a Cook County prosecutor. Peck, who has repeatedly refused Tribune interview requests, provided a brief statement.
"I am very proud of my family and their substantial accomplishments!" wrote Peck, former president of the Chicago Bar Association and managing partner of Peck Bloom LLC."

Oh yeah, he is quite proud. Anyone know where the Peck child is working in the CCSA Office? No doubt she got that job because she was, what, the best qualified? Another Cook County States Attorney job goes to daddy's little girl. hey, it's only government work and even dumb retarded lawyers got to earn a living.
With a record like that the little lady lawyer could go on to great things, alderman, attorney general, mayor.
Ain't it grand the way it works here?
Thanks Mr. Peck for foisting your sub-standard retarded children on a public payroll already swollen to the breaking point with clout kids.
The law firm of daddy once again is Peck Bloom LLC.

The message for those of us without clout who are parents of bright kids working hard to get through school is DO NOT send your children to U of I, especially the law school.

JUST IN TIME FOR THE OLYMPICS.
Another ex CPD boss doing a bang up job at the Federal Protective Service:
The GAO's full report is not expected until September. Among the initial findings:
* In one region, the agency has not provided the required eight hours of X-ray or magnetometer training to its 1,500 guards since 2004.
* In another region, 62% of contract guards had expired certifications in at least one of the following areas: weapons, CPR, first aid and baton use.
* At one high-security facility, an armed guard was found asleep at his post after taking the painkiller Percocet.
* In one major city, an improperly trained guard sent an infant in a carrier through an X-ray machine.
* A guard who was supposed to be standing watch was caught using government computers to further his for-profit adult website.
* A guard failed to recognize or did not properly X-ray a box containing handguns at the loading dock of a facility.
Gary Schenkel, director of the Federal Protective Service, accepted responsibility for the findings but noted challenges his agency had experienced since he arrived in 2007, including budget constraints.
Quinn has also threatened to close special needs schools. These politicians are the scum of the Earth.
It really is time for a change. Politicians out! Put some business men/women in for a term or two. See how to run government offices. This bloated friends and family budget is killing the taxpayers.
I'm not interested in their views on gay marriage or abortion. None of that means a lick if they can't work within a budget and keep the stealing down. Smoke and mirrors, that's all the 'hot topic' nonsense is.
This guy is no better than blago & co. Let's let the criminals loose, that makes so much sense. Cut back on government give-aways. Make people think before they have so many kids they can't afford. The government didn't get them pregnant, therefore the government shouldn't be the daddy.Stop giving money away to the alcoholics, drug addicts and all the other addicted malingerers. Stop coddling everyone who has their hand out. Enough.
So when are they going to give us CCW and Castle Doctrine??
Time for the good citizens of Chicago to arm themselfs. Where do you think all those NON-VIOLENT criminals will end up? Suburbs like Posin, Melrose Park, Park Ridge heck NO here in Chitgo with the rest of the brothern lying, theiving politicians. I can just see a massive spike in crime states going thru the roof and shootings galore. And who will pay for this carniage you and me the tax payers! NO OLYMPICS and TERM LIMITS!
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090709/ap_on_re_us/un_un_gun_survey
Quinn is just another tax and spend Democrat - he will not be happy until the productive members of our society are taxed to the max!
Fine, Commie Quinn----but give proper IL residents Concealed Carry!
Cook county jail now has 905 empty cells! 4 years ago they had 4 criminals to every 2 man cell, now it is like a hotel! Guess there is no crime in crime ridden shitcago!
Where's George Ryan when we need him???
Hohohohohoho
LETS PUBLISH DALEY'S QUINN'S AND ALL THE ALDERCREATURES ADDRESS SO GOOD CITIZENS AND THE GOOD EXCONS CAN GO AND THANK THE POLS AND THEIR FAMALIES!!!
He may want to rethink his bid for election at the next gubernatorial run. This guy is a stone cold socialist and I think I'd rather have Blago back.
I really do believe that it's time to throw in the towel. What the hell is the point any more? This state is shit. Time to move south or west.
I assure you SCC, those law-and-order Republican types are here, they do exist, and they are around (in Edison Park, at least). I've noticed liberal infiltration, but it's not too terrible yet.
The problem with releasing prisoners is us citizens don't have a right to have the tools to properly shoot them when they break into our homes. We also don't have any Castle Doctrine or Make My Day laws to protect us legally should we have a confrontation, nor do we have CCW to protect us out in public. I'm all for letting those assholes go..but I want the ability to defend myself the same way you guys do. I'll pay for a license (if it's reasonable), I'll take training courses (although I've already taken several), I'll get a CCW permit (already have a non-resident one for PA)..but for chrissakes, give us SOMETHING.
Sounds like a Fidel Castro deal..Lets put them on boats and ship them to Cuba..
Releasing 10,000 convicts creates fear. Pretty much assume none of them coming out of the joint have marketable skills. Especially in this economy.
Politicians such as Quinn are setting us up. 10,000 unemployed convicts released upon society means drastic increase in two things: Crime and fear.
The politicians will use fear to change our Constitution. Watch for motions to change or remove amendments; especially the 1st and 2nd amendments
Can you say POLITICAL SUICIDE?
This goof of an UNELECTED Governor is making me wish Blago was still here!
Who put this idiot in charge????
How sad! I'm sure there are 100's of BS clout programs that could be cut, but that would upset some politician and risk them not getting re-elected.
Unless a number of prison guards and prison administrators are also terminated, seems that the only tangible savings by releasing prisoners early is the related cost-savings in food, material, and other purchased goods.
Same issue w/Cook County Jail - if number of prisoners is significantly down, where are the cost-savings to the taxpayers?
Let him released these scumbags to society, and wait until one of this ANGELS commits a serious crime, so all the guilt will reflect on him, and then get sued. I guarantee this scandal will cost him the next election which I will be happy to vote for the next and hopefully decent Governor!....I hope is all talk, let him keep these fuckers were they belong, so they can rot in there!
Hey fuck-head how about cutting back in some of these politician expenditure or what about the TIF money, that is being used to build more bullshit (low income housing projects) which we don't need! Like the ZAPATA project on Armitage that the GREEDEE ASS-WIPES from Brickerdike wants to build for 70 million dollars, on the taxpayer expense, after the Alder-creature Ray Colon gave them the zoning change and just waiting for more stimulus money from Obama to start breaking ground.
What about cutting all the funds from CEASEFIRE which is nothing but bunch of ACTIVE, SAVAGES GANG-BANGERS camouflaged into the next great city Alderman’s.
What about some of the laziest Secretary State office employees that don't do a thing, besides staring at their 5 dollar nail job all day long, making sure that the ( Cheetos) cheese did not get under the nails or their nails did not break while getting the( grape pop) can open during break, which they take every five minutes,which is not need for it because they are bullshitting with each other when is people waiting in line . I know! Their job is very stressful, but on top of it, they give you an attitude because you tell them, that their service is slow and they suck!
I can go on and on, but why don’t you start there?
"Fat Rat Pat" Quinn, just another lying Irish DemocRAT Politician. Just look at the guy, what a fuckin Mope. His hands are already in the Cookie Jar, which he expects us, the taxpayers, to keep full, for him and his money-grubbing friends to pilfer, and if we don't want our taxes raised, it's the same old boo-hoo story, there won't be money for the kids and their education, and on and on and on. You know what? Fuck YOU QUINN, cut out ALL these freebee Illinois handouts to the thousands of deadbeats here, collect all the fines owed to the State by Deadbeats, come up with some NEW ideas to raise revenue, without going to the Taxpayer troff, and after that's all done, maybe I'll look at you as being a bit legit. Until then, you, Sir, are to me, just another BLOWHARD, Fat-Irish Bullshit Artist DemocRAT Politician. I have as much respect for you and your ilk as I do for a child-Molester.
Stupid is as stupid does!
I say we release them all into the neighborhood of the soon-to-be EX-GOVERNOR Pat Quinn.
Is this guy for real? And he thinks he can run for another term as governor? What planet did he guy come from?
I'm getting so tired of this moron on the news every night scolding the citizens of Illinois and our legislators for NOT WANTING TO PAY MORE TAXES! Who the f*ck does he think he is? He doesn't own us!
WTF? When anyone else's budget ruptures, they REDUCE spending and cut back on luxuries and extras...
Apparently Quinn has never heard of this... he just wants more money!
Pat Quinn, why don't you just STFU???
I wonder if any of those "non violent" felons live on Quinn's block. Hmmmmmmmmmm, didn't think so.
Illinois has a recent history of having assholes & thieves sitting in the Governors chair. So far, Quinn is just an asshole.
Put all those prisoners in Quinns neighborhood, I'll bet he sings a new tune !!!
and this doesn't include the hundreds of thousands being released nationwide for the same reason. Many will wind up on our doorstep where their MO is still unknown. This is a great time for Daley to be treating all the city workers like dogs. He must have flunked his management classes also.
What an Idiot! Don't forget this a-hole was appointed by Blago!
Good. Nothing pleases me more to know it's just a matter of time now before I'll get the chance to write a general case for one of those protesters in the 10th district or for those 13th district bicyclist ASSHOLES who think they have the RIGHT OF WAY all the time.
I hope they let every fucking prisoner free from every penitentiary in this state. Its what this state needs!!!!!!! And I also hope they go on a fucking unprcedented crime spree that victimizes every liberal piece of shit lawyer, politician, storefront revereand, newspaper reporter, editor, etc, etc,. We need more sacrificial lambs! (especially liberal ones)!
Oh Lord. Is this really the way to solve the budget crisis? I mean, what the fuck?
---not a cop
hell yea its like re-stocking the ponds..hell I am all for this.."Duck season! Rabbitt season!" LMAO hey wheres our raise?..LIFM
I hear they are going to buy a tract of land in Highland Park for these guys to hang their hats when they are released ... that way all the liberals can invite them over to hang out with the daughters ... you know ...swim in the pool, bar-b-q .... it's all good....
No law against buying a 12 Ga. with the ever popular pistol grip, is there? Hard to get under anything but a maxicoat, which is no longer stylish, even in the ghetto.
Quinn got in by succession. Wanna sleepless night?
Succession says, if the Prez goes titsup, the VP, (Clown Prince) takes over.
After he is sent to the booby hatch, along comes Granny Nancy, to totally detroy our country.
HAAAAA HAAAAAAA!
Release 10,000 prisoners?
haaaaa haaaahahahahahahaaa!
Maybe Loevy, Flint Taylor or some of the CockWatch bunch will be awakened in the middle of the night by one/some of these mouth breathers. The jagged thumbnail of rampant mopery being rotated in the asshole of flaming liberalism! They won't be able to blame this shit on the Police that's for sure!
Man! Talk about ripe conditions for a shit storm! God bless the men & women of CPD and the upright taxpaying citizens of this city.
Let the deadbeats and savages howl in glee and fatten on each other's bones like the hyenas and crows they are.
shortshanks, j-fart, burst, & co. are still full of bovid faecum.
Don't release them outright......
Give them all guns.......parachutes...1 canteen.....1000 rounds of ammo......
And fly them all to somewhere over N Korea and Afghanistan....
Let them kill terrorists and free up space in the States DOC program.
God forbid.............Oh...fuck it.
Make them all do Hard Labor........dig ditches or shit like that.......a Chain gang.
I wouldn't have a problem with this if I could get a carry license that was recognized in IL. Actually, I've already got two carry licenses, I just need for them to be recognized in IL.
Without the ability to defend myself and my family, I think we should house some of the releasees on the Governor's Mansion property.
job security
Cook county jail now has 905 empty cells! 4 years ago they had 4 criminals to every 2 man cell, now it is like a hotel! Guess there is no crime in crime ridden shitcago!

I remember there was even talks of setting up tents because they were so overcrowded.
I am one of the prisoners about to be released. I was a wet behind the ears punk when I entered Stateville. Today I understand that a year in the penitentiary is the equivalent of 126 college hours at Harvard.
I am a graduate of a college of crime and you will never see me behind bars again.
I will wear a suit and tie every day, employed or unemployed. I will walk right next to you and you will address me as sir.
I have read more books in the last two weeks than you have in a year. My vocabulary is more expansive than yours.
IF I return to crime... and you or a member of your family is my victim, the jury will decide. For me.
This is all bullshit so the sheep beg for a tax increase.I dare this piece of shit to release all these jag-offs.His demoratic party will never allow it .But, on a long shot he does it, edged weapons are more fun to use.
It's better if they're not behind bars. They can't afford the gym fees so they lose their prison swol. Safer for us. Prison University just makes 'em bigger, stronger and criminally smarter.
Free 'em all! You'll definitely get their votes.
Thats why I have 17,000 rounds stockpiled. Split between the house and my final redoubt position out of state.
AND HOW IS THAT DIFFERENT FROM WHAT WATCH COMMANDER DO IN EVERY LOCK UP EVERY DAY.
AS SOON AS THE THIEF IS CLEAR IBOND HIM!!!
SO DONT THINK OF IT AS A SCARE TACTIC THINK OF IT AS THE FUTURE HOME CONFINEMENT AND ELETRONIC MONITORING.
DID U ALSO NOTICE THAT WHEN IT WAS REPORTED THAT ENGL-HOOD IS 1 OF THE MOST DANGEROUS PLACES IN THE COUNTRY -JFEDS TEAM WENT INTO ACTION REPORTING THAT ITS NOT REALLY THAT BAD.
OH WELL AT LEAST BLINKY BEA AND SKELETOR ARENT ON THE BOOB TUBE ANYMORE.
WHO IS ARE MEDIA GUY ANYWAY I NEVER SEE THEM ON TV.... MAY BE THAT SPOT SHOULD BE CUT...OR IS IT 1 OF DALEYS NEW GHOST SPOTS!
All these "non-violent" or "short sentence" criminals are from Cook County HAHAHAHA. In Cook County forcible felons do as much time as regular felons in real counties lol. All these A-Holes are coming back to Chcago. 789 Homicides in 2010?
You have nothing to fear. No one wants to come to Chicago. Not even an ex-con would come here with these freaking taxes. There's not enough city services for the money and all the kids in your schools are morons. Don't flatter yourself. Even we are only here because we cannot leave.
Hey fuck you George Ryan, stay off our blog. Go to that IllinoisGovsWithFelonys blog
THE PROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBLEM QUIN IS THAT THE STATE PAYS 20+ THOUSAND A YEAR FOR THE FELONS SENTENCE. LOOK AT THE EASY MATH:
CUT THE SENTENCES IN HALF AND THEN SPEND $5000 A YEAR FOR THE CONVICTS BY MAKING THE CONDITIONS MORE UNAPPEALING. MAKE THEM WORK, GIVE THEM RICE, FLOUR, BEANS, AND WATER.
WITH YOUR WAY, THEY WILL LEAVE PRISON THINKING THAT EVEN IF THEY RETURN YOU WILL RELEASE THEM AGAIN. WHERE IS YOUR COMMON SENSE. PLEASE FIND A HAPPY MEDIAN IN YOUR PREPOSTEROUS DECISIONS. WE ARE CONDITIONING SOCIETY TO CHOOSE TOTAL LAZINESS AS A WAY OF LIFE.
All inmates from Tamms "SuperMax" Correctional Center will be relocated to a halfway house at 14th and Indiana.
Nothing new here. Believe it when you see it. This rumor periodically sweeps prisons, goes around the telegraph like wildfire. Something to hope for, fill up the day. As SCC says, the gov could be playing harum-scarum with this as well.
seems like he is catering to the voting bloc of a certain racial group.

I'm not sure if this was suppossed to be sarcasm, sardonic wit, or just stupidity.
Your an idiot and I am armed. Good luck with your suit and tie, unemployed sorry poo-butt thinks Stateville is Harvard, reading books from 8 to 20 years ago, and comparing your expansive vocabulary against your fellow convicts as proof you are intelligent, self. (That would be a gerundive laden complex sentence, think Jesse Jackson and you'll get that right on your GED)
Let me give you a hint: the smart guys went to college, stole millions, when they bellyed up, they got bailed out by Obama, and if they did ever do something that got their sorry butts jammed up, they didn't have public defenders, and if they didn't avoid indictments, they spent a couple of years in Minn or Wisconsin, no picnic, but not Joliet.
You have one thing right though, in Cook county you don't stand a cold chance in Hades of being convicted.

I think that's the same philosophy used by the 019 Dist. Watch commanders and lockup. If you lock someone up there they let them out within 2 hours. Some punishment!
7/09/2009 06:55:00 AM
_____________________________
Would that be to punish the drinkers or pissers? How about the guys riding their bicycles on the sidewalk? Or is it to punish the mildly retarded? Oh wait.. that's a "quality of life" arrest.. sorry. The daily CTA urinators? Maybe it's to punish that guy yesterday that wasn't caught drinking, but was walking while intoxicated? You couldn't get him on DOPW so you charged him with DC. What about the countless piss bums panhandling in prohibited locations? Or is it to punish the bird sanctuary guys getting locked up by operation "Oscar Mayer" covert operatives hiding in the bushes?
Bring in something worth punishing and the watch commanders might not laugh at you. Do you think the bosses in 019 really support this shit? They know all this silliness will get tossed in court, so why make work for his people? Why fill the lockup with people who will never change no matter how long you lock them up? It's a waste of time, money and increases their liability, and the watch commanders know it. And for the record they are bonded when the rap sheet comes back, the WC approves the release and the desk crew writes the bond. If that's in 2 hours, so be it. No one goes out of their way to bond out the prisoners there. And if they are jaggoffs they will sit for a few watches.
The state releasing prisoners is no comparison. They are convicted, the prisoners in the lockup are not... but you already knew that... you complain because you know the only jail time they will see is the 2 hours in lockup. Perhaps you should blame yourself for not making arrests that will stick. Instead you complain about what 019 does, yet still make the easiest arrests just so you can wear jeans, drive CD and leave early after you get your heads for the day. Your philosophy is no better.
Maybe they heard that Chicago's arrests numbers were down so now with all these IR.#'s aimlessly moping around the ghettos the MSF/TRU can finally get their numbers up so they can keep their spots........
We should bill the prisoners for their incarceration. Lets contract them out to work, collect their salaries then charge them a daily rate plus food and medical care.
They can learn a job skill and keep a % of the wages in a prison bank where other prisoners can work and learn skills. Then when they get out they have a skill and a couple of bucks.
Would anyone really notice if tomorrow Englewood and Fillmore had an additional 10,000 criminals?
I would notice it if they all cut in front of me in the coffee line at Dunkin D's. At once.
Have the prisons make a profit.
Put all of them to work making all of those cheap gadgets for sale at Wal-Mart and pay Chinese wages; then deduct for food, clothing, shelter and security costs.
OR Plan B
Have a bulldozer dig a very large hole behind each prison. March out the worst of the worst every day. One bullet in the head each then cover the hole. Repeat until there is no more budget problem or we run out of prisoners.
If we run out of bullets, ask for donations or use an ax, or skip that step and just bury them alive.
let them come to chicago , daley could use their support for the
nolympics
Would anyone really notice if tomorrow Englewood and Fillmore had an additional 10,000 criminals?
LMAO
