There is a reason we have prison sentences other than to keep dangerous people out of society. That is to act as a deterrent and message to any other would be criminals.

What message do you think letting somebody like Biggs out of jail early sends? That its alright to commit a violent robbery? Its OK to escape and live like a millionaire? After all if you do decide to come back when you've blown all the money you wont get made to do a full sentence and will get free healthcare for your failing health to boot.
