They are being released to be become “productive “ citizens - that is produce more crime so police, lawyers, judges, etc can stay in business.

Yes, our job creators.

In some areas of the country there is a theory which holds onto the idea that by giving a huge tax break to the already wealthy, the rich will invest their funds which "trickle down" into jobs for the less fortunate lower classes.

In Puna, as there is little commercial zoning, our local concept for effective long term employment is the "screwed* up" method of job creation. In this system, car thieves and their associated kidnappers provide a virtually unlimited work flow for those in the law enforcement, prosecution, and criminal defense sector, all through an innovative catch and release program.

This is very disturbing news. How are they not being held in cells?

Welcome to the Big Island...

[My 2 cents]

As I interpret the article, only the guy who turned himself in on the afternoon of the incident was released. The other 3 are still being held, albeit on other charges.

According to the West Hawaii Today article linked above, yes, the only suspect that has been released is the guy who turned himself in on the day of the kidnapping. The other three are in custody although Carvalho was "released" but remains in custody on other matters.

"At 5:30 p.m. that afternoon, detectives arrested 32-year-old Claude Carvalho Jr. in connection with this incident after he was taken into custody for unrelated bench warrants. He was released later that evening pending investigation for this case but remained in police custody for his warrants until making his initial appearance on Wednesday afternoon in District Court.

On Wednesday, 26-year-old Nikki Nasario and 25-year-old Joshua Sosa were arrested for the incident and their outstanding warrants following a traffic stop on Highway 130 near the Ainaloa Boulevard intersection in Pahoa. Sosa is being held at the Hawaii Community Correctional Center on a parole violation warrant, and Nasario is being held at the Hilo cellblock while detectives from the Area I Criminal Investigation Section continue the investigation.
