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.

Are they required to turn themselves in after the crisis passes? Regarding crime stats, I'll take your word for now but not enough time has elapsed to make a meaningful assessment.

Most jail inmates are there awaiting trial. Those folks will be required to show up for their trial dates, unless charges are dropped. Some others may have be serving a sentence, and I don’t believe that sf has done temporary releases, but I could be wrong there.

Thanks for your input. I can assume that you may be right although you acknowledge you could be wrong:) Nevertheless, it would be good to hear this from Chesa, the source.
