Quote:A Texas woman who was freed from a life sentence last year after President Obama granted her clemency is behind bars again.

According to the Houston Chronicle, Carol Denise Richardson, 49, was arrested for theft in Pasadena, a Houston suburb, and violated other conditions imposed when she was released from prison.

"This defendant was literally given a second chance to become a productive member of society and has wasted it," Assistant U.S. Attorney Ted Imperato said in a statement released by his office. "She has clearly shown a willful disregard for the law and must face the consequences for her crimes and actions."

Richardson was convicted by a federal jury in June 2006 for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute 50 grams or more of crack cocaine and two counts of possession with intent to distribute the drug, the paper reported. With an extensive criminal background, she was sentenced to life in prison.

After her release in July last year, the Chronicle said, Richardson was ordered to remain under supervision for 10 years, but on April 13 was arrested by Pasadena police.

She stole $60 Dollars of laundry detergent to buy drugs.

By releasing her back into society, she has wasted money and time of Law Enforcement and the courts that could be better spent other criminals. All Obama did was release a person who will go on in life as a repeat offender.

so lemme get this straight...

you are arguing it is cheaper to arrest a person once than to imprison them over the course of several months? that doesn't make logical sense.

then again you are highlighting the example of someone reentering the system without highlighting the number of people who obama took out of prison that didn't reenter prison. so clearly this is nothing but partisan drivel.
