By God, That's The Way It's Supposed To Work

Johnny William Bell was due to be released from prison. As he was processed out, he was arrested for a crime in another county and taken directly to jail; he did not pass GO nor did he collect his $200.

Police using DNA evidence had linked him to a rape committed before he had been imprisoned, and were waiting to charge him with it as he was readied for release.

That's the way it's supposed to work in a properly functioning society. I have given cops and courts grief for turning felons loose or not getting tough with them, but this is an example of the system working properly. Well done.
