I hope you're not suggesting we lock people up who have not been convicted of a crime.

I just imagine that the system is not black and white. And again, armchair logic is fine from where we're sitting. Folks may also be harmed by this.

I suggest there will be unintended consequences.

Sure. All actions have consequences. Folks may even benefit.

Out of all the potential consequences, you're focused on this one. I'm just trying to understand your intent. Are you suggesting alternatives?

The consequence of this decision is that people will be released if their convictions are for these certain crimes. That consequence is absolutely intended.
