Nearly 11 percent of 150,000 inmates released early because of Los Angles County jail closures have committed new crimes, The Los Angeles Times reported.

Of 16,000 inmates re-arrested since mid-2002, 2,000 have been arrested twice and 16 were held on fresh murder charges.

Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca defended his jail-closing decision as a 'last resort' to avoid layoffs to cut millions from his budget.

However, city officials said sheriff`s clerks disregard judges` sentences and free inmates despite orders that they serve their entire sentence.

Then the victims should be suing those that released these criminals into the public to prey anew on the innocent.

People lost their lives because these bastards were released.

Someone should be held responsible and it should be those that disregarded the judge's sentencing.
