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.
Release 1000 prisoners and something bad will happen. Pick 1000 people at random and one of them will do something terrible. Those people didn’t wind up in jail by accident. Have you ever met someone with a low iq and almost no impulse control?

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.
