- Parole officers use software to decide level of supervision for ex-inmates

Instead of relying on parole officers to decide how much supervision inmates will need on the outside by looking at their records, the new system uses a computer algorithm to decide for them.

Waste of resources. So now we look into our crystal ball and decide how someone proceeds from their? Bologna, anyone that thinks this is good is no friend of mine.
Sounds to me like this will lead to profiling. And do you know why police agencies have used profiling as a proventive measure to deter crime? Because it works.
Maybe they should profile this as a " nazi approach to law enforcement"
