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/ …
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.

Its a ceiling on how much our society might risk to indulge its punishment and slavery fetishes. To incarcerate people in this mass means overflowing ICU, increased lockdowns and mass death.https://twitter.com/davidminpdx/status/1272362171796647936 …
