Terrorism prison sentences in Europe until very recently averaged about six years, compared to 13 years in the United States, according to data from Europol. France, which has been struck repeatedly by Islamic State fighters and sympathizers, will be freeing 57 inmates — about half its current population of terrorism convicts.

And that's where many fear not just France but all of Europe will fail the next wave of terrorism convicts.
