Roy T. Cooper's Spokeswoman can say whatever she wants but it is a fact that under Cooper's leadership in the DOJ, hundreds of criminals, rapists, murderers, child sex offenders, are RELEASED - paroled back into the public every month. Twenty (20) more released felons really isn't anything new. A "released" sex offender in NC, (James C. Morrison, Jr.) was just accused 2 days ago of beating a 4 year old boy to death.

This is disgusting and EVERYONE should be outraged. jgriffith3792

Why?...people now days only feel outrage when whatever is going on touches them or their group...otherwise to hell with the rest...not in my neighborhood, not in my school, not on my street, not in my state....either you want to respect the laws and lawmakers or you don't...can't have it both ways.

One of these people were guilty of 18 infractions while in prison. How are they justifying release for good conduct? kjanicke

Any of those infractions could be caused by an a-hole officer just messing with someone cause they can or a short timer inciting a long timer and the inmate having no other recourse but to take the punishment...segregation, taking away of privileges. There's abuse behind the wall too you know. Never been there, heard a lot of stories from people who have.

Look at it this way. Early release from prison, no education, criminal record, convicted felon - who is going to hire these ex-cons?? They will continue to be a burden on society by drawing welfare and eventually return to a life of crime to keep up with their other gun toting friends.

This is by far the stupidist idea i have ever heard. Its like the inmates running the asylum. Every single person in this state ( and surrounding states) are in mortal danger the instant these convicts are released. I guarantee you we hear of some horrible crime committed shortly after they are set free. They were sentenced to life for a reason, and that reason didnt just simply vanish. Its bad enough we have to protect ourselves from those that have not been caught yet, now we have to worry about the ones being set free too. Thanks a lot to those to screwed up the laws, way to protect us.

they have paid their debt to society. -- jafarmg2

They have paid their debt? How so? Why don't you ask their victims, or for those that were murdered, ask their family if the "debt" has been paid?

As far being written up by a "malicous guard" or for doing "nothing", if its unfair and you don't want to have to endure that - DON'T GO TO JAIL! Pretty simple.

BTW, like how all the "infractions" you listed are caused by someone else or circumstances. As posted earlier, when these convicts mess up some bleeding heart will point out its always the fault of someone else and not the criminal. Thank you for proving my point.

After Sun's N&O article I'm not concerned about Ms. Brown; I'm worried about the others. I don't like what the guy on tv said last night about the fact they are in their 50's & 60's and we pretty much shouldn't be concerned. Why not? They are murderers, rapists. If you are one of those who say "they've served, let'em out" then be a good citizen and rent them a room in YOUR HOUSE.
