Q. What are your opinions on sentencing?

Q. Do you think he already got time in the Federal prison in Springfield and never kept town when released?

Q. Do you think the prison contributes to the crime/unhoused problem in Springfield?

A. Not a danger to society. Sentence for ten years, out in 3(ish?)

A. Possible. A lack of family and friends network could easily cause a mental breakdown such as this.

A. Probably. I am not saying NIMBY, I am saying the federal government should provide resources for returning citizens to prevent this type of situation. It is possible they do and I don't know about it.
