Did John Fetterman Call for the Mass Release of Prisoners?

The campaign for Democratic candidate John Fetterman, who's running for U.S. Senate in the battleground state of Pennsylvania, is denying that he ever called for the mass release of prisoners, specifically, one-third of the statewide criminal population, which amasses to over 12,400 of the about 37,700 convicts incarcerated in the state's correctional facilities as of Aug. 31, per a Pennsylvania Department of Corrections monthly population report.

So, as the U.S. Senate race heats up ahead of the November midterm elections, does Fetterman truly want to let a significant amount of criminals deemed "dangerous" back out on the streets of communities across the Keystone State?
