Especially considering the average computational error was 55 days. Seems to me that this whole thing is just another bureaucrats revenge. Get those TPS reports...

Add to that, that the problem existed for 13 years. I would say that it's a non-issue, barely worth fixing. The persons that have been release earlier are prisoners that have shown good behavior, so I doubt that it will any more dangerous, despite the circumstances for their crime.

The law seems a little buggy to me though. Why does it even make sense that you can earn "good time", but only towards a portion of your sentence and not the whole thing? If you don't want people to get out to early just specify a minimum time that must be served.
