Well...

Let's hope none, but I don't know many lawyers or judges that think that way.  That's truly not a slam at them, at least it's not meant to be.  It's just not the way the decision making process is honed in law school.  So I guess you can blame the professors, though they were indoctrinated into that culture as well.  It's just a cultural problem, and it's not liable to get better any time soon.
And really the bulk of the people released are probably drug offenders who don't need to be in prison any way.  Legalization could have cured much of this problem.
