New York releasing criminals early and handing out lavish parting gifts

New York releasing criminals early and handing out lavish parting gifts: Can you imagine being at a New York Mets game, enjoying time with your family, buying overpriced hot dogs and drinks, and you figure out that a group of felons are sitting next to you and your kids?

New York Mayor Bill de Blasio has stationed workers on Rikers Island to dole out gifts to all departing inmates.

Carrying all of the taxpayer-purchased rewards, including $25 debit cards, Mets tickets, free transit passes, movie tickets, and various gift cards, has become such a burden that the city is working to purchase drawstring bags so criminals can pack their prizes out more easily.
