Almost 4,000 inmates released from IL prisons, 64 convicted of murder
WREX-13 ^ | April 28, 2020 | James Stratton

After calls from state lawmakers and a Freedom of Information Act Request from Illinois Senate Republicans, the Illinois Department of Corrections releases a list of every inmate released from state prisons since March 1.

On that list are almost 4,000 inmates that had their sentence commuted by either Gov. JB Pritzker, or were released by the Illinois Department of Corrections. According to court records, some of those released were convicted of violent crimes — 64 of them for murder, four of them convicted here in the Stateline.

Pritzker has defended his move to commute sentences multiple times at his afternoon press conferences.

Illinois is beginning to resemble something from the Theater of the Absurd under Jabba Pritzker.

Release the dangerous criminals and make room for the people who are attending drive in church.

the democrats need murderers to kill witnesses
and those who might run against them (JFK,jr. and the like).

their supply of MS-13 murderers is going down,
and this will increase their supply.

remember: there is no accountability to the DNC/RINOs
for their murdering Presidents, killing witnesses,
children, or even eating them.

Leave the murderers in there, maybe they'll all kill each other.

If they die of the virus (which they won't), consider it a bonus.

Releasing prisoners = Expenses decrease in Rats State Budget = more people killed or abused.

Do RATS care NO! Only want POWER over us!

EXACTLY. Before the softkill army’s ammo is spent, they’ll go to the hardkill.

Ammo up. Remember Gov. JB Pritzker.

“P” dossier. List of grievances. Justice meted out at time of our choosing. FF were smart radicals.

The only people I would be fine with releasing are if they had nonviolent offenders caught smoking pot. But even there, I would ask the question of whether or not said prisoners would have a job or home after I let them out in an emergency situation.

Are the cells not 6 feet apart and separated by concrete walls?

Does this not imply that anytime flu season comes that we should empty the prisons for the prisoners own safety?

How about just the common cold?

This is insanity and not based on good science at all.

535+++++ vs. 330 MILLION Lock arm and ammo with brother and sisters in the cities, suburbs and countryside. It’s time.

Illinois is broke... Prisons cost a fortune... the virus is just an excuse.

Add it up.

How are the homeless people doing. Honestly it feels like many released prisoners will end up homeless immediately after release.

I assume these folks were not instructed to turn themselves back in after the virus is under control so they can finish out their sentences.
