"prison sentences (particularly long sentences) are unlikely to deter future crime. Prisons actually may have the opposite effect: Inmates learn more effective crime strategies from each other,"https://nij.ojp.gov/topics/articles/five-things-about-deterrence …
I would create a baseline as to what would make an inmate a safe bet to release into society - then review the cases that aligned with this baseline. I wouldn't get caught up hitting the number "235", but rather review only those cases deemed safe to get as close as possible.

A one-time violent offender who has spent decades in prison may meet the bar. If they can express regret and want to contribute to the community and participate in society I would welcome them back as a hard worker and human being.

its uncomfortable like the rest of pandemic but that doesn't answer the question. Ok, but the doctors, are telling
@chesaboudin that for our city to hold any more than 600 people is unsafe and will lead to a great risk of society wide corona infection. Which ones would you hold? -
600 isn't an absolute line - it's not as though the number 600 magically represents safety. We should try to get as close to 600 as possible but our community is already dealing with COVID we shouldn't add inmates we don't have a baseline level of confidence can follow the law.
