no particular interest in the argument itself but an uproar - including from people who really do want to reduce incarceration in the US - over biden shortening the sentences of 1500 people already on home release, because one of them did something we actually disapprove of, is... illustrative.
#among 1500 non-violent offenders on home release you are going to find a few who make you angry#but if you want to significantly lower rates of incarceration you are going to have to let people out based on categories they fall into#rather than whether the people with discretion are feeling merciful about each particular case#anyway. perhaps after 15 years in the benevolent and character-building institution of the us prison service this guy is reformed &penitent#and if not i'm unconvinced that another two years would have improved things
