Quick Hits Episode 274 - Canadian law sucks when it comes to terrorism

Why in heaven's name is a convicted unapologetic jihadi being released from prison?

Prisons serve several purposes, or so it seems to me (I am not a incarceration specialist). First and foremost it is a system that can help keep the public safe from truly dangerous people. Second, it is part of a series of institutions that seek to punish those who do wrong. And thirdly, it can provide opportunities to those convicted to see the light and reform themselves in order to reintegrate into society one day. But what if that person does not rehabilitate, is not a good candidate for a return to freedom, and still poses a significant threat to the public? What if that person is a convicted ISIS terrorist whom the system says can be set free? Not a good idea folks
