What about saving the lives of everyone in the communities where convicts are released?

These prisoners are still members of our community, being so densely housed, they pose a more substantial epidemiological danger to the communities around them than being in our communities but at a social distance. Corona is a existential threat and we must treat it as such.

Epidemiologically they are, meaning that walls mean nothing to the virus when service workers, and sheriffs come and go regularly from these cesspools into the surrounding communities. Prisons are the epicenters of this crisis and they endanger us all.https://twitter.com/davidminpdx/status/1283956803219251201 …

Many or most of these people confined are pre trial, the vast majority are imprisoned for non-violent drugs crimes. You think those should be punishable by likely impending death? Seems pretty cruel and unusual to me, but them most of our mass incarceration system is.

They already release non violent offenders in most places and most major city. If they didn’t release Brooks early cause of Covid he would still be alive today. Stop petition to get more criminals for your Marxist agenda please!
