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.
But Chesa's point is that "letting out the bad guys" rn will save their lives, which is good (unless you're a psychopath), and won't meaningfully endanger the public. Your description supports that claim.

I don’t see where he’s “twisting it” at least not in this tweet. But fwiw, I do think this supports not detaining people pretrial. It destroys lives and coerces guilty pleas. That rates aren’t increasing now is just another small piece of evidence in its favor.
