I'm not complaining about the risk of COVID in our jails. I'm complaining about the excusing of what I'd call "heavy crime" simply because a proven and undeterred criminal may be exposed to COVID in jail. I have no empathy for those who can't treat their community with respect.
You're right, we would be safer if it was even lower, 600 represents the ceiling and we need to release many more than the 235 we are discussing. However, in this land of mass incarceration, no one follows the law.https://ips-dc.org/three-felonies-day/ …

In this land the vast majority of us are able to live our lives without inhibiting happiness and success of our community. Happy to go lower than 600 if so many inmates are able to meet the aforementioned bar of confidence for parole and will be sent back to prison if they don't.

That wasn't the question, how might you prioritize releasing the remaining 28% of 835? Given that we may following medical guidance hold only 600, & there are many more that you regularly complain need incarcerated failing your standard of complying w incoherent excessive law.
