Welcome back Truth in Sentencing!!! Listen to the Taxpayer Money get Sucked Down the Drain.

For the last year many Republicans, like State AG J.B. Van Hollen, have been intentionally spreading a campaign of fear over our recently enacted inmate early release program, a program that would save taxpayer money and isn't much different from all the other states with a similar program. 

The fear campaign is back, and so is the money hole that will be sucking down our hard earn taxpayer money. Fiscal insanity is back:
WSJ: A program allowing some nonviolent offenders to petition for early release from prison, which some Republican critics had derided as "catch and release," would be ended under the budget Gov. Scott Walker introduced Tuesday. 
The program, implemented by former Democratic Gov. Jim Doyle, was designed to result in up to 3,000 inmates getting out early — mostly those with significant health problems and inmates close to completing their sentences.
