Thee's a very simple solution to that. Keeping convicts in jail once their sentence is up in unconstitutional. Depending on what they did, what their previous criminal record was, and how old they were at the time of conviction, there is always a possibility of release. For cases like that, I agree 100%. As I said, I was thinking of child molesters.

So mandate length of sentence on the disposition of the criminal in question, rather than the severity of the crime. In fact, handing out life sentences for every severe crime and granting bail if and when the criminal is rehabilitated does not seem to be such a bad idea, presuming that bail is less stringent after a certain time under this system.
