We did the same thing in Fla. Didn't work out to well when several convicts killed 

people within three day of being released....

We normally average 1000 to 1100 inmates, we are in the low 800s now. The Judges keep letting everyone out on low bonds or supervise release. Most of the agencies in Florida are doing the same thing. After this is over we are all going to get hammered with failure to appear warrants. Because you know these people aren’t to smart!!
