I just returned from Rikers Island where a group of elected officials exercised our legal right to inspect correctional facilities. What I witnessed was a humanitarian crisis. A horror house of abuse and neglect. I'll share more soon but for now my message is simple: decarcerate.

This isn’t his making. The court system is backed up because of covid and people not being able to afford bail. It’s always been a problem.

This is wrong to hold a person in jail due to the inability to pay their bail. because of a dysfunction of a system, that has perpetuated racism without acknowledging that it is deliberate. These are policies that are made to hide their immortalities. They just don’t care.

I agree! #ChesaBoudin the San Francisco DA eliminated the unfair cash bail system. I’ll vote for him again.
