THERE ARE SOME DANGEROUS PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT SHOULD STILL BE BEHIND BARS. THAT'S THE FINDING OF THE FIRST PHASE OF A REVIEW BY THE NEW MEXICO CORRECTIONS DEPARTMENT LOOKING AT INMATE RELEASES DONE BETWEEN 2010 AND 2012. CORRECTIONS SECRETARY GREG MARCANTEL TELLS 770 KKOB, THERE ARE A LOT OF FILES TO REVIEW. THE SAYS THEY RELEASE OVER 300 INMATES A MONTH.
THE AUDIT FOUND THAT 51 OF THE 69-HUNDRED INMATES RELEASED OVER THAT TIME PERIOD HAD NOT COMPLETED THEIR SENTENCES. THEIR CRIMES RANGE FROM DWI AND DRUG POSSESSION TO AGGRAVATED BATTERY AND SECOND DEGREE MURDER.
