BETTENDORF, Iowa (AP) - A burglary suspect was arrested after he left behind a Corrections Department identification card he used to jimmy a lock, authorities said.

Officers said they arrested Robert Alan Fry of Rock Island, Ill., after investigating the theft Tuesday of a plastic jug containing about $400 in change from an apartment in Bettendorf. They said they found Fry's Illinois Department of Corrections ID card at the apartment and arrested him Wednesday at a Bettendorf motel.

Fry, 43, was charged with third-degree burglary, possession of drug paraphernalia and interference and was taken to the Scott County Jail, authorities said.

Fry was released from the Illinois prison system in January, having served two years and three months of a 10-year sentence for a Rock Island County burglary.

Inmates who are released but are without legal identification like a driver's license can receive a Corrections Department-issued ID card.

if your found guilty i feel you should serve the whole time your given . if you feel the time is to long you should have show just couse why . not be release early becouse the guards feel you been a good person in the slammer !
you screw over someone and they didnt get a break by you .so why should you be given a break ?

A "10 year sentence" does not mean 10 years behind bars.

A sentence of 10 years means 10 years under the supervision of the judicial system. This usually means a combination of incarceration, parole and probation.

Excellent point, though honestly I can not say I knew that before reading your post. It makes complete sense though, and does explain a number of things. Thanks for the info, WP.

Early releases are also supposed to help with overcrowding in jails. We don't have enough space to keep them all locked up. It is also a reward to try to get prisoners to behave better while they are locked up- hopefully making it easier on guards.

Honestly, the "early release" of criminals really depends on what the guy did to get into jail, his likelihood of doing it again, and how much of a threat he presents to society.
