They should be let out to live in the Bronco players houses (wives and children in the same house) with GPS ankle bracelets. The players who spoke to be fully responsible for their actions. They should agree to do time in prison for any crime the released commit while under their custody.
When they say they are willing to do that, when they have skin in the game, then I will agree with them. Otherwise it’s just some poor random family that has to injured again.
You are right! make them sponsors... Let them out under the condition these players are 100% responsible for room and board plus any and all actions. And the convicts have to live UNDER the same roof as their sponsors.
