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.

I never said that the guy deserves to get COVID, I said he deserves to be in prison. His conduct is extremely detrimental to an already struggling community. My sentiment was that he has no one to blame but himself for being incarcerated - thereby increasing his risk of COVID.

The punishing being more important than either the epidemiological crisis occurring in society at large or the prison specifically?

Again, you're wrong. It's not the punishing that is important - it is the removal this individual from society where he is causing pain to his law-abiding neighbors. I'm sorry, it's not ok to repeatedly steal vehicles with no repercussions and it's not ok to excuse this behavior.

The only "solutions" you have offered are non-starters. It's reprehensible that you would advocate to continue to just let this guy continue to steal vehicles.

Its unconscionable to embrace further counterproductive mass incarceration in this moment of pandemic, doing so exacerbates the epidemiological crisis and likely overwhelms our hospitals, causing mass death. Stuff is replaceable, we have a medical crisis.

For a lot of people "stuff" is not replaceable. For a lot of people having their cars and houses broken into or stolen it begins a traumatizing emotional cycle where they don't feel safe in their own homes -and you are making excuses to twist this for your incarceration narrative

You obviously do not think that the guidance of our medical professionals is important, and are more focused on usage of this uniquely american mass incarceration system. I am uncertain if you understand the medical crisis your behavior is precipitating?

The guidance of medical professionals is important - hence my support reducing our jail population by as much as possible as long as we can say confidently that the parollees won't continue to harm the community. Hopefully we can reach the recommended "600" number.

The problem I see is that given our over criminalized society it is implausible for anyone to be in compliance with the law, stopping short of theft is a normally a obvious requirement, but now incarceration is a death sentence for some random person statistically.
