600 isn't an absolute line - it's not as though the number 600 magically represents safety. We should try to get as close to 600 as possible but our community is already dealing with COVID we shouldn't add inmates we don't have a baseline level of confidence can follow the law.
Were currently in the position of the dph that holding them poses greater societal rick than releasing them. This agrees with guidance from throughout our judicial system.

This makes it impossible to both follow your guidance of releasing only those that pose no risk of committing relatively minor crimes and the guidance of the dph to release prisoners to the 600 maximum. We have to release car thieves to save our hospitals from being overwhelmed.

I'm sorry, I believe that the public is dealing with enough already that I don't support the release of prisoners that we can't be confident wouldn't negatively impact the community. 600 is a recommended number, not a hard line.
