So what the actual bill being debated?
This Twitter account has played loose with facts before.

This is a bit misleading.
I just looked at the bill
https://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?241+ful+HB834
It just means they can apply to be reviewed for release. It's not an automatic thing. They are using the serial killer thing as a scare tactic.
They had to have served 15 years. Victims get to be heard. They consider the person's behavior in prison, etc.
It may still be a bad bill. But it's not everyone automatically gets to walk out of prison. There's still review and controls.
I did read that they have to be there for 15 years before the release. I am not sure how lenient is the bill toward the inmates but whatever it is, I still think this is a dangerous and bad bill.
Trying to get their foot-soldiers for the election is what it is.
Wow, that's a giant leap.
