Then disprove it.

Here's some data around catch and release:

Among persons admitted to state prison in 2014 across 34 states, 77% had five or more prior arrests in their criminal history, including the arrest that resulted in their prison sentence.

About half of persons admitted in 2014 were released by the end of 2015. Among these released persons, over half (59%) were arrested at least once within 2 years, including 16% for a violent offense. Forty-two percent were arrested for a public order offense within 2 years of release, making it the most common arrest offense for the 2014 admission cohort.

The number of prisoners that have had 15 or more prior arrests is over 26%

77% != 9 out of 10 and 5 != dozens. Seems like you’re doing a good job of disproving your own exaggerated claims.

You must not be familiar w/ the English language and common colloquialisms. So I'd sit this one out.

I think by colloquialism you mean extreme exaggeration. Maybe check word definitions before using them if you don’t know. The last sentence would have been omitted had you not thrown the “familiar with language” shade.
