Like the majority of Americans, I have an immediate family member locked up behind bars. My dad is in prison & at the age of 75, he is high risk for the virus. If we forget about incarcerated people we’ll lose to the virus and we’ll lose ourselves.https://www.newyorker.com/news/our-local-correspondents/chesa-boudin-on-his-incarcerated-father-and-the-threat-of-the-coronavirus-in-prisons …

Your father is in prison for felony murder, for killing 3 people who never got to go back home to their families. This is not a “mass incarceration” issue. What is the appropriate penalty for killing 3 people?

Last I checked New York doesn’t have the death penalty and keeping a 75 year old in a prison without proper precautions will be just that. This country needs to reckon with the fact that prisoners are still US citizens and have rights.

Last I checked his sentence is 75 years to life. He's eligible for parole in 2056. The "death penalty" and dying in prison are two separate things. Be a critical thinker. Pro tip: don't commit robbery and multiple murder.

The police get away with multiple murders and there isn't ever justice served, there is a huge problem of white power racism that is still ingrained in the american "justice" system, profit motives keep people jailed for no basis and this is how capitalism thrives

So because some cops got away with murder, Chesa's parents should be able to get away with it too?
