The Justice Department is set to release about 6,000 inmates early from prison — the largest one-time release of federal prisoners — in an effort to reduce overcrowding and provide relief to drug offenders who received harsh sentences over the past three decades.
The inmates from federal prisons nationwide will be set free by the department’s Bureau of Prisons between Oct. 30 and Nov. 2. Most of them will go to halfway houses and home confinement before being put on supervised release.
The early release follows action by the U.S. Sentencing Commission — an independent agency that sets sentencing policies for federal crimes — which reduced the potential punishment for future drug offenders last year and then made that change retroactive.
The commission’s action is separate from an effort by President Obama to grant clemency to certain nonviolent drug offenders, an initiative that has resulted in the early release of 89 inmates.

Ever notice that on crime and military spending, the Left suddenly becomes penny-pinching pikers?
Just like a third world dictator.
They still should not be able to vote.
Give them tents in their yard. Releasing them is LIB insanity writ large.
Actually, nothing shocks me, anymore with this regime. It's only gonna get worse, by the day.
Also, why is the Dept of Just Us investigating the Afghani hospital strike?
These inmates will be schooled on social justice warrior tactics Obama-style. They will be the leftist tacticians in urban covert action, complete with organizational structure, budgets, logistics for deployments and supplies.
Of course they will be able to vote. So will prisoners in prison. I read a bit about that some time ago. Isn’t fair and all that.
What could go wrong? Mark the date and monitor for an uptick in crime.
6,000 probably mostly muslim converts.
Black Lives Matter, LaRaza, LULAC, ACORN, International ANSWER, Code Pink and 1,000 other NGOs.
Mennonites you mean...
New Voters! New loyal DNC loyalists, and with enhanced resumes to boot.
Obola gett’in even lett’in slip his Dawgs of war right according to 2016 plan:
Crash economy, likely with bank withdrawal EBT interruptions
Have Val Jar cyber-flash mob gimmedat #BlackLivesMatter across nation’s cities
Mobilize UN Safe Cities & Federal police action to address unrest
Invoke another Executive Order to counter second ammemdment firearms violence, that affects inner city youts, and bitter tea party clingers alike
And voila, he retains power until completion of promised national fundamental transformation, either through staying in office during national emergency, or via POTUS Slo Jo Biden proxy.
Will Hungary take them?
Crime pays.
Personally I don’t give a crap about overcrowding. The more crowded the prisons the better. More incentive not to get sent to one.
A@@WIPES NATIONAL POLICE FORCE CANDIDATES
The up-tick in crime will be blamed on republican governors across the country.
He should put them on a boat, and set sail for Havana.
No, they shouldn’t, but didn’t Obamugabe visit a prison recently. Hmmm...I suppose he was telling them all how to vote when he releases them.
