I’m hoping that there are important details left out of this story. Now, 200+ paroled burglars are going to wear tracking bracelets?! The article does not say if these are burglars with a history of physical violence, or even ones with severe drug addictions, like the two men involved in the Cheshire murders. Are these burglars with a long history of arrests, or does this include one-time criminals? Making no distinction between these is making a mistake. This seems like a misuse of money.
Rell is being reckless here. Throwing money at a problem (is a freak incident even an ongoing problem?) doesn’t usually have results, but could Rell even throw that kind of money at the root causes of crime that are in her backyard?
