“why are they let out?”

‘Good behavior’.

A concept I could never really fully understand.

How do you allow some, sentenced for a crime, with a determinate sentence, out of prison for ‘good behavior’?

It’s his ‘behavior’ BEFORE he went to prison that determined his sentence to begin with.

It shouldn’t matter what his ‘behavior’ was behind bars.

It’s a way for government employees (the prison-industrial complex) to make their jobs easier. Sending dangerous criminals prematurely back to society is fine, if it means they can worry less about controlling a prison population.

With all due respect, slight disagreement. Proper behavior gets him out on time; bad behavior adds time to sentence. Fair to all.
