Parole Still Not A Good Idea
Full sentences seem to actually keep bad people from committing crime - at least while they're behind bars that is. Let em out and they're all about committing crime:
- A paroled felon accused in a September homicide was ordered held without bail Saturday.
Ramone Palmer, 23, is accused of fatally shooting Brian Rollins on Sept. 12. Prosecutors said Palmer, whose name is also listed in court documents as Ramone Riley-Palmer, broke into a home in the 10400 block of South Perry Avenue in the Fernwood neighborhood on the Far South Side, threatened its occupants with a gun and then chased Rollins out of the house and shot him four times.
And get this - he went back to prison in the time between the killing and being arrested for the killing:
- Palmer, of the 5900 block of South Justine Street, was on parole for aggravated unlawful use of a weapon when Rollins was killed. A week after the shooting, he was ordered back to prison but was paroled again last month.
On an AggUUW charge no less. Why does no one from the IDOC ever get dragged over the coals for letting the wrong people loose?

So much for the toughest gun laws in the nation...
Just remember it's always the fault if the Police and no one else.
IDOC, ASA's, judges, parole boards all need to have some accountability.
Why?? It's expensive keeping people in jail/prison and under guard. Execution also works, but I don't think Illinois does much of that.
Illinois is not serious about gun crime. They only want to make law abiding gun owners criminals. If you are a felon, go ahead and carry. Nothing will happen. If you are a solid citizen, they want to throw you in jail for a year if you make an honest victimless mistake.
He's just a kid in need of the right federally subsidized vocational training program to keep him off the skreeps.
Sterilization should be required for parole. If you want to serve your entire sentence then your nuts don't get removed. No more breeding might keep the mentality from being passed on
Well, every now and again, IDOC's fuckups do seem to gain notoriety. The now several years-old practice of violating parolees for domestic battery offenses (now common knowledge among baby mamas, of course) was a result of the public outcry after a parolee killed his estranged girlfriend, as I recall. I guess gang member-on-gang member crime aint gonna cut it for media outcry this time...
Godinez is an idiot @ best. He helped run the cook county jail into the ground, and he's doing the same with IDOC.
No--- they will never get dragged over the coals as long as they save Patrick money.
Another bathhouse buddy gone bad.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Hey yo Rev Jesse, Is this that case for education up front you were talking about, instead of JAIL
He be a good earner fo his revrun
As I'm sure most of the readers here can attest to arresting people on parole and when IDOC is called 99% of the time they tell you," please what while I check with my supervisor to see if a warrant will be issues." When they return to the call they tell you that whatever he/she is arrested for is not serious enough to violate their parole. This is a Goddamn joke ! A condition of their parole is not to get arrested again , while on parole. But, in the land of tolerance and no common sense these felons are allowed to remain free to victimize more citizens. This is one of many reasons why I vote Republican.
Overcrowded prisons, mostly filed with non-violent drug offenders. Perhaps just house only violent offenders who commit violent crimes?

Not sure how to email you but just a heads up as this seems to have been hush hush.
Gov. Squish's revolving DOC door for felons is accelerating.
He is now putting C1F convicts with 4+ year sentences on "work release" within 60 days of arrival. On paper they still look like they're doing hard time, but read their status on the DOC web site a little closer and you can see they're back on the street.
Gotta put those Democrats back on the street.

Wrong people? I don't think there are any right people. They should all serve their full sentences and then be transitioned back into society in the Arctic.
If the democrats weren't working at fighting truth in sentencing and making sure that "black and brown people" weren't over represented in prisons, who would vote for them in their districts?
Is it an accident that their politicians are connected to gangs and fight for gang banger rights? Their whole culture is based on criminal lifestyles. They need criminal politicians to vote for their criminal interests.
If we enlist the Northwestern Innocence Project's help, and the professor gets that college coed as a 'treat' again, I am sure we can get this guy out to actually kill someone before Christmas.
exactly as the bandit mentions. as long as it saves money then this will continue to happen. it has always been about the money and will always be about the money. add that notion with democrats and liberals and there you have a deadly combination. Chicago is an embarrassment beyond repair.
Meanwhile, someone with a legal CCW permit will end up going to jail longer than this guy.
How about the black caucus blocking Rham's effort for mandatory minimums?? Who are they really representing and protecting?? It sure isn't the good black folks in their wards or districts. Instead of being worried about the people directly effected by the homegrown terrorism going on in the streets of Chicago, they want to keep savages out of cages.
I hope the government steps in on our behalf and bans screwdrivers. These screwdrivers can be dangerous.... The screwdriver almost made this nice lady kill a senior citizen. These goddamned screwdrivers make me sick!

How many of these parolees are out because of a politician pressuring IDOC. There is hope with dope, money to run for elections, your own private cash IRA that no one knows about. A good politician needs these bangers out of jail.
Okay....Calm Down.....everything is gonna be OKAY! Just turn to the direction of the County Building and say Boot-Camp three times.

Oh! just give them carte blanche to commit crimes without any repurcussions.
Yet the hard working stiff who pleads guilty in traffic court so the offense doesn't go in their driving record get hit with a fine and $ 174.00 court cost. Why doesn't all these shitheads in criminal court who plead guilty to a lesser charge to avoid jail time do not also get hit with that $ 174.00 court cost fee??????
The Cook County Courts can't send Agg-UUW felons back to jail for their offenses because they have to keep those jail cell spaces available for the CCW holders that commit minor violations.
The CCSAO and the Courts are going to go out of their way to f#ck over any CCW permit holder for the smallest violation. They have lawyer friends in private practice that need to make a living so they (ASA) will charge people to benefit their lawyer compadres.
DING! DING! DING!
Winner Winner! Four wing dinner!
IDOC truly does need to answer for this bullshit!
Assholes go up for Agg-UUW and are OUT walking around feeling warm sunshine on their faces less than three years later.
"Hey Office, remember me?"
Illinois is lost...
just where do you plan to put all these people who are not going to be on parole?
only so much space in the prisons.
got to to let one out to let one in.
people need to stop with their liberal university delusion about "non-violent" offenders.
That's a politician, a criminal, a priest, and some clueless professor, probably all law school graduates, getting together for a circle jerk and coming up with a new talking point, or a "study" that results in the lie about drug offenders in prison costing more money than it's worth, or "punishing the disease of drug addiction" and all that other feel good nonsense.
Try growing up in one of those neighborhoods where all your drug-using neighbors and their loser gangbanger drug-selling, drug-using, thieving, trouble-making loser kids are all equally up to the task of beating the shit out of someone, stabbing, or shooting rivals, customers, or anyone else who they happen to think is an easy target.
Get your heads out of your ass and try actually talking to people trying to survive in gang infested neighborhoods. There are no distinctions, no differences in the jail and prison populations. The vast majority of assholes breaking the law, committing crime after crime, they don't give a f*ck about you and your thoughtful considerations and sympathy. They may be in for a drug case now but they were the same asshole who broke into your garage or jumped your uncle for his wallet, ripped the chain off your daughter's neck, stole your car, your bike, picked your pocket, sent their girlfriend to the hospital with a broken face, put a gun in someone's chest to steal their dope, or their purse.
Taking part in any of the drug transaction chain of distribution adds to the violence and chain of events that plague neighborhoods like the one where I grew up.
Also, I wish people understood that the majority of those so-called non-violent offenders who have been sentenced to do time for possession, they are not users or addicts who are being denied treatment. They are savages who are gaming the system, wasting what little resources should be going to the real addicts out there. The violent drug dealers are in jail and in prison doing less time than they should but weren't charged correctly for the delivery offense and its corresponding lengthier sentence. It's simply another example of why lawyers get paid to diminish our ability to actually remove violent drug dealers from our communities.
For the guy who supports the war on drugs, understand it's an unconstitutional action. At least the politicians did it properly with alcohol prohibition by enacting the 18th Amendment. Fortunately, they repealed it only 13 years later after they realized it turned law-abiding citizens into criminals, made gangsters extremely wealthy and powerful, set up an environment for law enforcement and political corruption, and led to massive violence. Have you noticed any of that these days? The big difference is that prohibition only lasted about 13 years while its drug counterpart has been waged for over 40. So, the next time you're at home having a legal cold one, why not read over The Constitution, you know, that document we all swore to uphold, and find the part where it authorizes drug prohibition. Don't bother, because it doesn't. Signed, a Libertarian cop.
