This is what is wrong with our Government today. Gov. Purdue or anyone else knew the intentions of those that made the law back in the 70's. But they think just because of their position they can change it. I worked in the prison system for 13 years and have seen some inmates with the same crime let go. I say if the served the time that was given to them and they have not been in any trouble while in the system then they should be let go, and save the tax payer the money it cost to keep them there. I also feel that if NC wants to save taxpayers money then they should cut off the cable television that is provided to the inmates. There are people living and trying to make it in this world that can't have cable TV soo why should inmates be afforded this luxury?

(my last word was cut off)

anarchy.

"I see people up here talking about the rules and how they can't be changed. This is true but, we are talking about people convicted of murder and rape. I bet if they were to murder or rape you once released you would not be talking about how the rules aren't fair. Maybe they should be released and sent to see you to do what they did that landed them in prison the first time."

And I bet if the state did something illegal to you or your family, you wouldn't be so eager to let the state get away with something illegal.

You're missing the point. I don't WANT these people released. Nor do I want the state doing things they are not legally authorized to do.

If the police broke down your door without reason and without a warrant, searched your house, left it in an absolute mess after finding nothing illegal, I bet you'd be more than happy to sue them for illegal search and seizures. Our government HAS to function within the law or we may as well have anar

Perdue can defy a judge’s order but she cannot do anything about illegal immigration. She can’t even do anything about the community colleges alloying illegal immigrants’ to go to our schools or work on state contract. With unemployment being as high as it is she should start making demands for the legal US citizens.

This proves that it is okay to trample on people's rights as long as they are convicts.

I wonder how many people would be up in arms if a graduating Class at NCSU was told after they had completed all requirments for their degree that they had to take more classes? Just because the school Presidents did not like their Class.

"Bowden and his attorneys argued that good behavior and other credits have shortened the sentences"

Why didn't these folks think about "good behavior" before they ended up in jail?

"China has executed nine men for crimes committed during July"

News story on Nov.9 2009 .. If the US followed this time frame we wouldn't be dealing with this MESS...

Another great waste of state money. I hope they all sue and win. You can't change the rules at the end of a game. Even a child knows that!

"the ONLY issue here is that Perdue doesn't want to let the BLACK inmates out without SUPERVISION. i'm ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE that the inmates would simply agree to be supervised like the WHITE female inmate Perdue has working for her who is supervised. just let the black inmates agree to supervision and let them out just like the white female was let out. don't blame the inmates for taking advantage of the law, the law should not only work against but it should be able to work for you also." Amazing how race ALWAYS gets dragged into it. Let's look beyond the above post that I did a copy and paste of and let me suggest that the author volunteer to have these guys move into his neighborhood. Color won't matter then, wonder if he has a wife and children. Maybe one of these fine, reformed gentlemen could babysit, or do some yard work for his wife.
