Re: Well, so much for reform

I was wondering the same here. If there's been releases within maybe a month then sure, I could see those people being brought back, but given they screwed up bad enough that it's been 3 *years* since the issue was found and it's not been fixed it seems like that should fall on them to just accept it. If it hadn't been so long ago then parole might have been a more reasonable response (basically converting the remaining time to parole time), but after 3 years I doubt even the parole time would still be running, especially if the median early release is a month and a half
