This is a terrible tragedy and awful end to a brutal year. It is a system failure that resulted in irreversible harm to two families. My heart goes out to the families of the victims. We will hold the man who did this accountable. We will support the families of the victims
Yeah, covid in jails is a problem, but releasing people into an environment with no meaningful support or available jobs due to lockdown means that of course they will commit more crimes - and that's even if everyone is acting in good faith. Desperation will set in.
