Here’s and idea, how about those who are responsible for releasing criminals on society, serve an equal prison sentence for new crimes they commit.
Justice Samuel Alito: In the early 1990s, federal courts enforced a cap on the number of inmates in the Philadelphia prison system, and thousands of inmates were set free. Although efforts were made to release only those prisoners who were least likely to commit violent crimes, that attempt was spectacularly unsuccessful. During an 18-month period, the Philadelphia police rearrested thousands of these prisoners for committing 9,732 new crimes. Those defendants were charged with 79 murders, 90 rapes, 1,113 assaults, 959 robberies, 701 burglaries, and 2,748 thefts, not to mention thousands of drug offenses.

Now there’s an idea, let’s start jailing Federal Judges! I don’t think it would do much to change their liberal do good attitudes, but it would be a just payback for their past assaults on society.
