Up until last week, male inmates were serving at least 80 percent of their jail time, but recently the sheriff’s department began freeing men who were sentenced for non-violent offenses after they served only 50 percent of their time./blockquotebr /br /I don’t think letting people off early is such a good idea but shouldn’t the time served be uniform across the board regardless of sex?
