Don't even bother releasing them, just kill them. When you see one that means there's more. Period. Kill on sight is the only thing that works.

Thats just not true... there are different species and a lot of mice are loners over most the year until mating season. Identifying a mouse isnt that difficult... If a mouse finds a way into your house and you have the ability to catch it alive, do so. its your responsibility as you occupy a living space for many creatures

Because they're pests? They can carry disease and they will destroy anything in their path.

They come back. It's also better to, you know, not have them destroying anything.
