    Okay, a lot of people feel that way. So, how many convicted murderers are you willing to take in? What about people who have assaulted children? Are you willing to trust them around your children because you feel society has failed them?

    A lot of people want all the inmates let out, but not in their backyard. They typically want them released in the backyards of people they don’t like. In other words, they want to weaponise them.

    So then you have the issue of “what do we do with people we deem a threat to society”?
