A friend of mine is a parole officer and has been lamenting the release of all these convicts. A lot of them aren't the occasional pot smoker or candy bar thief, they are hardened criminals that are being put back on our streets. There has been increased gang activity on northern Wisconsin Indian reservations due to the release of adult gang members coming in to recruit 10-14 yr. old kids. The initiations for gang membership has gotten much more violent with injury to a person and not just a break in (like in the good old days).
