"Justice System" Failures Continue

SAFE-T Act failures abound.

Electronic monitoring continues to be a joke.

And as we've been pointing out for decades, the Parole system is broken beyond repair:

• A 21-year-old man who walked out of prison the same day he arrived in August is now accused of being part of a violent armed robbery crew that Chicago police suspect was responsible for 28 holdups during November. Prosecutors have filed charges against Marquis Terry in four of those cases, including one in which a victim was kidnapped and driven to Chase Bank locations across the city.

  Terry previously drew coverage on CWBChicago when a stolen, loaded machine gun was found in his high school locker last year. Records show he received a five-year prison sentence in mid-August for possessing the weapon. But during the roughly 500 days he spent in the Cook County Jail awaiting resolution of the case, he earned 900 days of credit. Combined with the state’s mandatory 50 percent sentence reduction, he was released from prison on August 14, the same day he walked in.

You know where criminals can live, and all the crimes they continue to commit don't bother the law abiding citizens?

Funny how that works.
