Healthcare professionals demanded we drastically reduce the jail population, so we listened. On Jan 21, the SF jail population was 1,238. On March 4, when the emergency was declared, it was 1,097. Yesterday, it was 766. Meanwhile, crime rates continue to decrease in SF.
Yes, but you’re also now perpetuating myths about a ton of people. When someone is in custody, they have the right to safe and sterile housing; no one should be put at more risk for this simply because they’re imprisoned. (There are also a ton of low risk people in prison/jail).

Your boy Chesa thinks they’re all misunderstood heroes like his daddy. I don’t know where you’re at but you really gotta try to get arrested in SF. Crime is down because burglaries ‘aren’t crimes’. I’m for normalizing drugs but the city is enabling/coddling dealers and addicts.

Jail isn’t safe period you there go your rights

That’s not how it’s supposed to be, that’s what we’ve allowed it to become. Also consider that the US incarcerates more people, and for longer sentences than any other developed country, yet our crime and recidivism rates remain higher. You can’t jail your way to public safety.
