    Which also, unfortunately, was probably what led to him being paroled in the first place.
    could be jail crowding, or could be $. this latest development is a permanent solution. a better solution for the taxpayers. He was foolish enough to shoot at LE, he won the big prize.

    There was a bunch of laws passed in 2017. It reduced the time people spent in jail before they were eligible to be released. The official reason was to prioritize the jail space for violent offenders. It just so happens the state would also save some money.

    From https://gov.louisiana.gov/index.cfm/page/58:
    "On June 15, 2017, Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards signed into law the most comprehensive criminal justice reform in the state’s history. The bipartisan package of 10 bills primarily focuses on non-violent, non-sex offenders and is designed to steer less serious offenders away from prison, strengthen alternatives to imprisonment, reduce prison terms for those who can be safely supervised in the community, and remove barriers to successful re-entry.

    The reforms should allow Louisiana to shed its status as the state with the nation’s highest imprisonment rate by the end of 2018. The state projects that the measures will reduce the prison and community supervision populations by 10 and 12 percent, respectively, over 10 years and avoid $262 million in spending. The state will reinvest an estimated $184 million of the savings in local programs to reduce recidivism and in services for crime victims."

    Whatever their master plan is, its not working in south LA. Violent crime is on the rise everywhere in south LA. Those movements to reduce LA jail and prison populations no doubt are partially feeding the crime wave. For example, NOLA criminal courts were shutdown for 12 months due to covid and the pandemic. So there is a massive backlog to date.

    No worries, Jason Williams and the queen are gonna save the city.
