From yesterday's Los Angeles Daily News:
Los Angeles County Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich [taking issue with the budget-cutting early release of prison inmates] cited a Harvard University study that found that releasing criminals costs more in the long run as they commit additional crimes and are rearrested, retried and re-sentenced.
The study found that for each criminal locked up, there is a reduction of between five and six reported crimes.
"Putting criminals back into our communities is an irresponsible and reckless way to balance the state's budget," Antonovich said.
