Several years back, the New York Times could not figure out why there were so many people in prison, since the crime rate had dropped so much. They wanted to let the criminals out, of course. Under Obama, they are succeeding.

Yes. I recall a number of articles from different sources, all with a similar thought: “In spite of high incarceration numbers, the crime rate is falling precipitously”.
Most people can see the obvious causation. Criminals that are locked up are not committing as many crimes.
But it is a mystery to leftists.
