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.
Thank you for recognizing the humanity of our cities prisoners, and the staff that work in these facilities. We should hear our @HouseJudiciary and release as many prisoners as possible.
