If they'd lock the criminals up instead of letting them out early or giving them reduced sentences, then the crime rate would go way down. It's all a money making scheme. Kind of like the circle of life almost. To keep their jobs going and relevant, judges are soft on sentencing and prosecutors are soft on seeking lengthy jail/prison sentences for violent and repeat offenders.
Can seem shocking without the context of a 330M+ population. During the same period on average, 3500+ traffic fatalities occurred with many of them mass casualty events. Yet no such reporting by news outlets, weird.
