Offenders who are freed early from prison commit 1,600 crimes a week | Mail Online
I figure it's pretty likely that there are similar statistics in America...
Emma Glanfield and James Slack write about the issue in the U.K. Daily Mail:
"Ministry of Justice figures reveal number of crimes by newly-freed prisoners
An average of 10 burglaries are committed every day by previous offenders
Criminals freed in 2011 committed a total of 84,598 in 12 months after release
Ministers warned latest data shows danger of releasing criminals too early"
