Murderer released from Cook County Jail

Good job, Chicago!!!

Convicted murderer Steven Robbins, 44, was released from Cook County Jail about 60 years early. Robbins had been brought to the Cook County Jail from the Indiana Department of Corrections (fancy name for prison system) for a 1992 case.

Why? If he's 44 and serving 60 years in Indiana, why fool around with a 1992 case?

What sleight-of-hand do you suppose Robbins pulled to get released onn Wednesday evening? How do they release people from the Cook County Jail? Do they ask, "Who wants to go home today?" Sounds like Robbins didn't even have to punch his way through an outside wall and tie together some bed sheets to escape. How'd he get out?

This kind of stupidity probably happens much more than the public hears about, when the fact is that it should never happen. How was that guy identified in the Jail? Didn't deputies (or corrections officers) know that he was not just visiting in town, but he was here with a round-trip ticket back to Indiana?

Seems to me that Sheriff Dart ought to lay off the law-abiding gun owners and pay more attention to what is happening in his jail...
