Q13 Fox: Governor considers early release for inmates over coronavirus concerns

Other states have already used early release as a way to make more room in prisons to handle the coronavirus outbreak, including Kentucky and Ohio.

"There will be restrictions on them, they're not just going to be sent out the front door with a bus ticket," Carl Filler of Justice Action Network said. "I think that worrying that these folks will not be supervised or that they will be allowed to live their lives just like anyone else, that's very unlikely. I think it's important just to consider that, A) there will be consequences and B) these people have served some sort of time already."
