What do you mean by carceral state in SF? If US had SF's jail population then US will have 80% less jail pop. this is even before Boudin. So SF doesnt have a carceral state US has. SF is designing soln for a national problems ignoring local problems.

1:39Chesa Boudin 博徹思Verified account @chesaboudinSome don't care about ending mass incarceration. Others think we've done enough. I'll break down why the're wrong: Less than 5% of SF is black but approx. 50% of the jail is black; SF's incarceration rate for African Americans is way higher than any other major American city. pic.twitter.com/Rgh2e9aCpgShow this thread1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

Safer! He sympathizes with Honduran drug dealers and refuses to prosecute them. Result - sf leads the nation in fentanyl deaths.

As our
@ChesaBoudin emphasizes, while we prosecute these cases on a daily basis, prohibition has always been a counterproductive failure, exacerbating usage, addiction, lawlessness, and violence in our community.#StandWithChesa to make our city saferhttps://twitter.com/chesaboudin/status/1279449608033316865?lang=en …Paul added,
Chesa Boudin 博徹思Verified account @chesaboudinReplying to @chezpim @MattHaneySFFact: approximately 20% of my general felony team's caseload are drug sales. We do prosecute these cases, everyday, for better or worse. As we've learned from the war on drugs after all these decades of failure: this is not a problem we can police or prosecute our way out of.2 replies 0 retweets 1 like -

I am all for decriminalization but not legalization. But that is only part of the problem, we need to help people to get off the addiction atleast to those who live on the streets. Portugal did so many things including law enforcement to deal with drugs not just decrim.

Portugal imprisons 113 people per 100k, California has an incarceration rate of 549 per 100,000 people, meaning that it locks up a higher percentage of its people than almost any democracy on earth.https://twitter.com/PrisonPolicy/status/1435634041353486346 …

Not denying CA has mass incarceration problem but sf doesn’t. Sf before boudin had 133/100k which is already lower compared with major cities in Europe and boudin reduced it to 87/100k. He did it by releasing and undercharging violent criminals that is my problem.

I don't agree with allowing importation and drug dealing. Neither does the Netherlands and Portugal. But you do. Why?

In The Netherlands they give medical grade heroin for free to addicts so they don’t kill themselves with street drugs of unknown purity.
