I don’t see why they don’t attach those tracking devices for the work release inmates. Being on the loose for almost two months is way too long. Think of the liability in the event of a serious crime.
There never seems to be any liability or accountability. Just another day of crime in Hawai’i.
Our prisons are just a disaster.
The top 2% go to Harvard, Stanford, etc. and then the bottom 2% lead a life of crime, vagrancy, etc. Sometimes those in the top 2% go to jail also. Similarly those in the bottom 2% rise to shine.
