Releasing the Prisoners: Unpleasant task is only valid option
Gov. Bev Perdue's decision last week to prevent the Department of Corrections from releasing inmates was terribly misguided and ignored the rule of law. While it is certainly understandable why the governor would want to protect the victims and the public from inmates who were convicted of such violent crimes, ignoring the law is not a solution. It undermines confidence in our legal system, not to mention that it costs taxpayers more in the long run.
