IDEA WON'T SAVE MONEY

In response to the letter "Release nonviolent offenders," how could this 
possibly help the budget? How many of these offenders would again break the 
law "nonviolently" and have to be retried and resentenced at taxpayers' 
expense? How do you continue to take drugs and act responsibly? How can any 
of this save money and protect the public as well?
