According to California prison inspectors, an ill-equipped computer system has allowed the release of 450 inmates who are considered to have a "high risk of violence." The mistake originated in a computer program designed to organize the release of low-risk prisoners parole-free, and keep the facilities from wasting time and taxpayer dollars on those who pose no threat to society.
Unfortunately the criteria the system was using when it determined the release dates for 10,134 inmates last year failed to take into account convictions and disciplinary actions for over half of the state's entire prison population. Using only arrest information, which on paper can make even the most violent criminal appear to be a minimal threat to society, the system ordered the parole-free release of violent felons, gang members, and rapists.
Prisons in the state are dangerously overcrowded, and a federal mandate has given officials 2 years to cut the inmate population by 33,000 individuals. The computer program at fault was meant to help with this process, but without accurate records, it won't do much good. Law enforcement has made no attempt to track down the erroneously freed felons at this time, and officials say that they can only be returned if they are caught committing a crime.

You mean your fellow members of the Newsies?
 
It's time to re-form the Avengers and track down the 450.
 
Batman can find them with the help of The Justice League.
 
Maybe a few will see this as a miracle and turn their life around.
 
Error my a**. That computer knew damn well what it was doing.

This is only the beginning
 
I'm pretty sure this situation was in the Avengers cartoon

Locked up, they won't let me out. Locked up, they wo-- Oh hey.
 
This was intended, the more violent felons out there, the easier it is to plead a case for martial law. Th day of the superhero is upon us, put down your doritos, and Surge soda, and unite!!! We must put down this evil threat so that innocents may be free to walk the street with wads of cash in broad daylight. Will you join me my brethren!?
