Freeing criminals to commit more crime leads to more crime?

It is data without too great a context but suggestive none-the-less.  From Activists bailed 70 people out of the Dane County Jail in last year; 25 have been rearrested by Chris Rickert.

Of 70 people bailed out of jail since last May by six social-justice activists, 25 have been charged with 108 felonies and 49 misdemeanors or municipal code violations alleged to have occurred after they were freed, a far higher re-arrest rate than typically seen among people released on bail nationally.

Most common was bail-jumping related to violations of their terms of release, but others include recklessly endangering safety, weapons charges, car theft, armed robbery, narcotics possession and strangulation or suffocation.

Dane County doesn’t track how many defendants are arrested and charged with new crimes while out on bail. But research from the U.S. Justice Department and others shows that state court defendants on bail are re-arrested for new crimes 15% or less of the time.
