Government releases 6,000 inmates, just victims of drug addiction?

I remember one of the first drug cases I worked after becoming a police officer. It started out as a well-being check on a small child and when I arrived at the home, I found the child smelling like he had not had a bath in a long time and playing in a backyard covered in dirt. I asked the small boy if his dad was around and he said, "Yeah," without looking up. I asked him if he could go get him for me and he said, "I hate my dad." I asked him why he would say that and he replied, "Because he hits my mom."
