The proposed legislation would remove the term offender and replace it with justice impacted individual.

Change this, change that. The only thing that you don't want to change is the behavior of criminals.

A couple of months ago in March, a 37-year-old man named Crosetti Brand was released on parole in the state of Illinois.

He had been locked up on a charge of home invasion and sentenced to

more than a decade in prison. But the state's prisoner review board decided to let him out

early with electronic monitoring. And what happened after that was predictable. Just a day after he

got out of prison, Chicago police say that Cressetti attacked a pregnant woman and her 11-year-old

boy, killing the child and critically injuring his mother.

According to court documents, the last time he was on parole, Cressetti had threatened the

same woman by text and showed up at her home. But somehow none of Crosetti's criminal history,

including his alleged threats, were enough to keep him in prison. And now authorities say that a

child is dead as a result. Now, this is obviously

clearly a massive failure of the judicial system in Illinois, which particularly post-BLM has

focused more on rehabilitation instead of punishment. It's the kind of episode that you'd hope

would spur lawmakers in Illinois to pass new laws to rein in their approach of

restorative justice, quote unquote, which we have talked about recently. But the Illinois

government has opted for a very different response. Instead of doing something to prevent

violent criminals from getting out of prison, state lawmakers have decided on a course of action

that's ripped straight from a Babylon B article.

A new bill that was just passed by both houses of the Illinois legislature, which is expected to be signed by the governor, would modify state law so that the term offender becomes replaced by the term justice impacted individual. The Department of Corrections and a bunch of

other government agencies will be required to use that term from now on. So the plan is not to do

anything about the criminals who are getting out of prison. It's to use a nicer word to describe these criminals. Don't call them
