2022 CT Senate race: on Crime


Themis Klarides: Early-release program has let loose many violent offenders

Governor Lamont has continued Dan Malloy's failed policies that have released thousands of convicts through an early-release program aimed at lowering the state's prison population. The prison population has shrunk, but only because the state has simply let loose convicted felons, including many violent offenders who were serving time for some of the worst offenses.
