Would you support house arrest with an ankle monitor? This would prevent: * spreading covid * stealing cars * reckless driving and consequent threat to life (The bigger mystery: why did it take 4 separate forces to arrest a sleeping man?)

Vaccination rates are higher among california prisoners than california residents so in theory, prisoners are safer in prison from covid than outside prison

Actually our overcrowded unhygienic and communal circumstances of
#MassIncarcerarion mean that even after vaccination, our mass incarceration system poses a existential epidemiological threat. No safe way to incarcerate such a historically excessive number of people in pandemic.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -
"historically excessive number of people" How do we determine 'excessive'? What's a right/comfortable number of people, to have incarcerated? (For reference, the current number in San Francisco is ~ 900, or 0.1% of the population.)

Usually discussed as a per 100,000. But its not fair to take the population that SF incarcerates alone, you must also accumulate our state and federal numbers, which places SF as one of the worst incarcerators in the known world.https://twitter.com/PrisonPolicy/status/1435634041353486346 …

Prison Policy Init.Verified account @PrisonPolicyNEW: Here is the 2021 update to our “States of Incarceration” report, comparing incarceration rates in U.S. states to 169 countries around the world: https://www.prisonpolicy.org/global/2021.html … 24 states, when viewed as countries, have the highest incarceration rate *in the world.* pic.twitter.com/tXBlyeOqpF3 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -
You're not comparing like with like. Compare SF's incarceration rate with that of other major cities (within or outside the US). SF's incarceration rate (100 per 100k) is lower than that of UK, Canada, Portugal. But I'd bet urban rates are even higher.

Are you saying nearly 1% of SF residents are in prison? Doesn't pass the sniff test.

We incarcerate a truly absurd number of people. It might be convenient to imply that
#MassIncarceration is done in sf but its far from the reality.https://twitter.com/chesaboudin/status/1172034132437655553 …Paul added,
1:39Chesa Boudin 博徹思Verified account @chesaboudinSome don't care about ending mass incarceration. Others think we've done enough. I'll break down why the're wrong: Less than 5% of SF is black but approx. 50% of the jail is black; SF's incarceration rate for African Americans is way higher than any other major American city. pic.twitter.com/Rgh2e9aCpgShow this thread2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -
Look at why people in jail not who is in jail. I’ve read numerous transcripts and case files. The small number of people in SF jails are there for committing serious crimes. Boudin doesn’t prosecute drugs, dealers, or other “quality of life crimes.”
