Nice to know that someone with his history was allowed to leave prison and escape a transition house.

Well, we've filled our prisons with pot smokers. Ain't no room left for him.

[–]tullabulla1 7ポイント8ポイント  (0子コメント)

Well smoking pot will ruin your life, so we are going to put you in jail, give you a criminal record, and and John Oliver states "Put you in the fuck barrel"

Oh yeah and God waits on high, eyeing his watch on Sundays. If you drink before noon "TO HELL WITH YOU"

I know Reddit loves to turn everything into a Libertarian political argument, but you won't go to prison for a small personal quantity of pot. Drug dealers, yes.

WTF?

He's a dangerous criminal that could be walking the streets of Austin. "This guy is literally a ticking time bomb, he can become violent at any time," says Deputy U.S. Marshal Brandon Filla. Filla says, "This individual is probably one of the worst that we have gone after here in this past year and when I say worst, I mean because of what he is capable of doing." His criminal past includes murder, assault, even stabbing a correctional officer. In August 1983, Edward Roy Bennett stabbed and killed a man in Wilbarger County. But investigators say he also tried to kill his own mother, twice. Bennett spent nearly three decades in prison. On February 4, 2015, authorities released him to the Austin Transitional Center but he walked out on May 19.

The article was frustratingly vague on details - has he been in prison since 1989? If so, 25 years is almost always enough time for someone to age out of violent crime.

[–]NedTaggart 10ポイント11ポイント  (2子コメント)

He stabbed a guard...Twice, and set his cell on fire.

[–]weluckyfew 6ポイント7ポイント  (1子コメント)

But when? 25 years ago or 5 years ago? And if he killed someone in 1983 why was he out in 1989?

[–]NedTaggart 9ポイント10ポイント  (0子コメント)

Oh I agree the article rambles and is less than informative. Also, what happened to the woman whose throat was slashed? Did she live? Die? What?

[–]sxzxnnx[🍰] 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

Sentence began 9/5/1989 according to this. Looks like he got 25 years for stabbing the jailer but they made it concurrent with the 30 years he was already serving. Nothing in there about the 1983 murder.

[–]weluckyfew 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

It's an imperfect system, but I'm sure that no one thought it was too lenient when he was sentenced to 25 years for that robbery. And I'm guessing that by making the 30 year sentence concurrent it had the effect of knocking out any chance of parole, so they figured that 25 years in jail would be enough. Usually they'd be right, this time they weren't, sadly.

    It's often interns. It's hard to attract good writers because generally good writers are overall intelligent people who are in careers where they actually make a living. There's no money in print journalism.

    They shouldn't give honor privileges to someone who would likely stab you in the face with the first pointy edged object he could get his fists on in the first place!

    I was just thinking of looking up this story because that detail had stuck in my mind and it annoyed me to see that the suspect doesn't fit that description. I live near and shop at that HEB and of course I have been careful about watching who's around me while coming and going at night.

    WTF is a convicted killer doing in a halfway house to begin with????

    Seriously, Texas, WTF?

    [–]imsoupercereal 6ポイント7ポイント  (3子コメント)

    You're really surprised after Texas slashes funding to mental health, education and women's health services that they would pull this? What's worse than the state's lack of empathy for these people and their problems is the failure to see the consequences of these actions. Yea, we saved a few dollars by releasing this guy from a detention facility, and look how it turned out. And, surprise, its actually now going be more expensive to put this turd through another trial, etc. Great.

    [–]BolshevikRed 13ポイント14ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Fuck a murderer and whatever "problems" you think are serviceable. They fucking murdered people. Blaming this on funding cuts is a cop-out at best. Besides, this was not due to budget cuts; he was let out early due to a law that was active from 1977-1987.

    You're right, this guy definitely didn't have mental health issues that weren't being addressed properly. Don't forget, proper may mean he can't be a part of normal society, it doesn't mean drugging him and expecting him to become a productive member of society.

    The article makes no sense - if he stabbed and killed someone in 1983 (and tried to kill his mother) how was he out in 1989 to commit burglary? He was 17 or 18 in 1983, but even at 17 he would have been tried as an adult.

    [–]Captain_Yid 2ポイント3ポイント  (5子コメント)

    Welcome to the 80's. Prison overcrowding led to a lot of people getting out of prison quickly (and a lot of crime). We built a ton of prisons and now people gripe about having too many people in prison.

    [–]weluckyfew 0ポイント1ポイント  (3子コメント)

    It's not that simple - the reasons for the crime spike in the 80s and early 90s is hotly debated

    [–]Captain_Yid 2ポイント3ポイント  (2子コメント)

    It's oversimplified, I agree, but I think you would be hard-pressed to argue imprisoning more violent convicts and for longer periods doesn't have something to do with the decrease in crime.

    FWIW, I speak somewhat from personal experience. I worked professionally in the criminal justice system in Texas for nearly 10 years and the time served for serious crimes in the 80's is often appalling.

    [–]weluckyfew 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

    Fair enough - to me the most interesting theory for contributors to the drop in crime is the introduction of unleaded gas. Apparently it tracks to different states and countries i.e. drop in crime rates correspond to when they adopted unleaded gas

    Someone in the 'Freakonomics' documentary ties the increase and drop in crime to Roe v Wade.

    They made an interesting argument that unwanted children tend to be raised worse and have a higher likelihood of becoming criminals.

    if he stabbed and killed someone in 1983 (and tried to kill his mother)

    They didn't say he was convicted of 1st degree murder.

    [–]weluckyfew -1ポイント0ポイント  (0子コメント)

    That's my point, though - a lot of people are upset he was let out of prison, but that seems a reasonable decision if, say, he was in for the last 25 years and had a clean record for maybe the last 20. now, if he stabbed that guard 8 years ago, then it seems stupid to have let him out-

    Looks like he got close to 30 years, from a plea bargain i would guess. Then before release he has to go to a halfway house and he said fuck it and just left the half way house and went crazy on the poor women at HEB. Terrible guy all around.

    Bennett's criminal past includes murder, assault, even stabbing a correctional officer.

    This is why the death penalty needs to be an option.

    [–]sterphles 8ポイント9ポイント  (14子コメント)

    I think no parole and a life++++ sentence would have sufficed in this case.

    [–]Captain_Yid 1ポイント2ポイント  (12子コメント)

    Did you notice the part about him stabbing a correctional officer? Life without parole won't stop him from stabbing more correctional officers (or other prisoners for that matter). When do you become concerned about the safety of other people in the prison?

    [–]sterphles 7ポイント8ポイント  (6子コメント)

    I feel like the prison system has to have some internal guidelines to deal with violence inside the prison - solitary confinement and other things. I'm not qualified to make any judgements there, but I think Hammurabi's Code is ancient history for a reason and it seems like this is an absolute failure of all parts of the system but doesn't mean this guy should have been sentenced to death.

    None of this should be taken as any sympathy for this piece of shit, only saying we've perpetuated a prison industry that doesn't seem to work at any level and it's really costing our society in so many ways.

    [–]Captain_Yid 1ポイント2ポイント  (5子コメント)

    You're right. They do. But that didn't stop this guy from hurting someone in prison.

    I'm not qualified to make any judgements there, but I think Hammurabi's Code

    I'm not advocating Hammurabi's Code. Far from it. I'm just saying that someone who continues hurting people while in prison should be incapacitated by death.

    [–]elHuron 0ポイント1ポイント  (4子コメント)

    Why not just solitary confinement? They cannot hurt anyone that way.

    [–]Captain_Yid -1ポイント0ポイント  (3子コメント)

    I believe it's considered cruel and unusual if you keep someone in solitary for too long.

    [–]XxJTHMxX 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

    Cruel and unusual. Like slashing someone's throat.

    [–]IrishEyes61 -1ポイント0ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Getting your throat slashed and stitched up is in no way comparable to spending the rest of your life in solitary. Plus, slashing someone's throat is a CRIME, perpetrated by a CRIMINAL. American justice should not be a criminal commiting crimes. Just sayin'

    [–]elHuron 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

    I agree. However, if someone is so dangerous that they hurt anyone whenever they can, what else (except the death penalty) would you propose?

    Personally, I would love to see a system in which all cells are a sort of studio apartment with a small yard (like a small batting cage).

    Solitary would just mean that the person cannot leave that area.

    No idea how to implement that though :-)

    [–]atx_trashman 2ポイント3ポイント  (4子コメント)

    Your onus here is incorrect. Prisons are generally for-profit institutions that crank down on costs (guard labor, rehab programs, etc) to maximize profit. Corrections Corporation of America would prefer to run a cattle chute style operation because it is more profitable, even if it results in the death of employees.

    [–]Captain_Yid -1ポイント0ポイント  (1子コメント)

    Not sure how that's relevant. Regardless, you're talking about a small fraction of prisons.

    6.8% of the U.S. state prison population is housed in private prisons

    Private prisons set the standards for business practices. ALEC states are always pressured to keep their costs in line with private models otherwise they face privatization. That's how the management techniques developed in private prisons end up being the model for public ones.
