The secret early prison release program will be a major problem for Gov. Quinn as he seeks re-election as the fact that 56 of those paroled early under the program are now back behind bars is made to order for opposition campaign commercials. It's a small percentage, 56 out of 1718 released, but Willie Horton was only one man. From the AP story:
Of the 1,718 released early under MGT Push, Quinn contended that 56 had been returned to prison, eight for new crimes: Six for retail theft or drug offenses, one for a drunken driving and one for domestic assault.
