No, this isn't a good idea because they could just go out there and cause more problems. Just build bigger prisons and more places for them to go.

 @9FMNV23Republican from Illinois  disagreed…2yrs2Y

No because they should still be in prison they commited a crime and should face there punishment in the prison that's like saying a rapist should be allowed to wear a electric bracelet insteaed of being in prison.

 @9G5DRCD from Washington  disagreed…2yrs2Y

Committing crime should have consequences that entail a loss of freedom. Non violent offenders shouldn’t spend long in prison but they should serve their time. Shorter sentences coupled with education and skill building is more important than sitting at home where the offender came up with the idea that it was okay to commit a non violent crime in the first place.

Biden will issue a pardon of his son Hunter Biden

President Joe Biden has decided to issue a pardon for his son Hunter and is expected to announce it Sunday night, according to a senior White House official with direct knowledge of the decision.The decision marks a reversal for the president, who has repeatedly said he would not use his executive authority to pardon his son or commute his sentence. The pardon comes ahead of Hunter Biden’s Dec. 12 sentencing for his conviction on federal gun charges. Hunter Biden also is set to be sentenced in a separate criminal case on Dec. 16, after pleading guilty in September on federal tax evasion charges.The pardon is expected to cover both Hunter Biden’s gun charges conviction and guilty plea.The senior White House official said Biden decided over this weekend to grant his son a pardon and began to inform his senior aides on Sunday. Using his pardon power to assure Hunter Biden does not spend time in jail comes as the 82-year-old president is near the end of his term in the White House and has no future election to face. In recent months Biden has said he would not pardon his son or commute his sentence.“I will not pardon him,” the president said of his son in June after a jury found him guilty on three federal gun charges.President Biden has discussed issuing a pardon for his son with some of his closest aides since at least Hunter Biden’s conviction in June, two people with direct knowledge of the discussions about the matter said. They said a decision was made at the time for the president to publicly say he would not pardon his son even though doing so remained on the table.White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters earlier this month that the president’s position has not changed.
