This year, lawmakers put language in the state budget to change how the Department of Corrections calculates when people get out of prison. The goal was to cut spending on prison costs.
You way remember me mentioning this asinine tidbit in this post
How could the punishment ever fit the crime?

Maybe if budget is an issue we can replace this assclown with a monkey. They admit 30% of those released will commit more crimes like the asshole that killed those 2 little girls this summer and to make matter worse they will get "street credit" against their original sentence.
