"I think that it is defeating the whole purpose" of the prostitution crackdown, said City Council member Elbra Wedgeworth. "We want them off the street, but we put them in jail and then they're right back out on the street." The first group granted early release, last Nov. 9, included 14 women serving time for a variety of nonviolent crimes, including shoplifting, drunken driving or prostitution. The reason for their release was to make room for a group of women picked up during a prostitution sting. "I'm outraged" at such revolving-door releases, Wedgeworth said, "but I understand because we have no place to put them." Webb spokesman Andrew Hudson said there is no contradiction between the mayor's anti-prostitution effort and the early-release program. "This is the reality of an overcrowded jail," he said. "You have to release folks to accommodate the people being brought in." Hudson stressed that the early releases don't mean that the city's position has changed. "Doing the stings and getting (prostitutes) off the streets is one thing, but we recognize the difference between keeping a county jail full and stopping the problem."

Denver's jail is plagued by overcrowding, with an average 1,900 inmates squeezed into a jail designed to hold 1,350. This year 233 inmates have been released early from the jail, shaving a total of 703 days off their combined sentences. An inmate selected for early release must have served at least half of his or her sentence and be within 10 days of the release date, according to jail guidelines. None of those released so far was being held on weapons, domestic violence or assault charges.

It all seems pretty black and white to me, as it should to everyone else who has read this as well. I'm sure that everybody on the forum will agree. Hopefully your struggle to grasp this situation clearly will reward you with the ability to see it as it really is.
