 Hey, you know how a bunch of local politicians want to eliminate parole? That’s a horrible idea that will decrease public safety, so it’ll probably happen. Parole had recently been suspended by Ed Rendell; he’s now allowed parole to resume for non-violent offenders. And check out his thorough instructions:
The governor says he has advised the Board of Probation and Parole that going forward, the definition of “non-violent offender” should apply to prisoners with no history of violent crimes.
Thanks, guv. Now what’s the definition of violent offender?
