Disappointed that @hknightsf chose not to include facts disproving her desired narrative about our work. So much misleading info in this piece it’s impossible to respond in 280 characters.https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/heatherknight/article/Is-public-safety-a-priority-for-DA-Chesa-Boudin-15654795.php …
There are a variety of restitutions many of them more effective and less societally costly than mass incarceration. I think financial crimes deserve financial consequences, incarceration being to high a societal burden and too destructive in these instances.

And how do you collect from those that don’t have anything to collect from? Plus, financial cost isn’t as much of an impediment.

Requiring restitution to the victim is implemented successfully in many countries. If an offender can't pay, they could "do their time" by performing unpaid labor or community service

I think the problem here is that the criminal has no incentive to change their behavior. We can all agree that said change is desirable, right?

It's the state's job to give them an incentive. If partnerships are made with Calworks or non profits and resorces are spent assigning case workers to assist people in making beter choices / make headway into employment, that would be a huge incentive
