Freeing violent inmates due to Covid is still a bad idea

Virginia man charged with rape released due to Covid kills accuser

quote:

A Virginia rape suspect, who was released from jail because of concerns regarding the new coronavirus, went on to kill the woman who had accused him, according to police.
The Washington Post was first to report that Ibrahim E. Bouaichi shot and killed the woman in late July, after he was released April 9, according to the newspaper and Alexandria police.

agreed, but freeing non-violent inmates might not be though. We have to reform our judicial system so that 2% of entire country isn’t behind bars.

I agree, but that 2% mark is extremely inaccurate.

Bouaichi was indicted last year on charges that included rape, strangulation and abduction.


What happened to only releasing nonviolent offenders?

Also, I don’t get the point of letting them out of jail
Visitors need to be restricted & they should be forced to stay in their cells 24/7
Just like in nursing homes

Our judicial system is fine

Don’t smoke dope if it’s illegal where you live

Don’t resist arrest

Don’t rape anyone

Don’t be a gangbanger

Don’t steal FUBU

Don’t drink and drive

My bad I just looked it up and shows closer to 1%, maybe it was Louisiana that I read was 2%. In any case that’s too many

Maybe the 2% should abide by the same rules the 98% abide by.

Freeing inmates due to a virus never made any logical sense to begin with, especially when they’re arresting business owners and pastors for just trying to operate businesses and churches.

They need to for sure (although the other 98% breaks laws too), but our current jail system is nothing but criminal college. They go there then get dumped on the street with no help and knowing nothing other than what they learned behind bars which is how to commit crimes. What we need is a system of reform to make sure they can reintegrate into society and be productive members. Can it happen with everybody? No. But currently we aren’t even trying so it’s inevitable they get released and end up right behind bars.

bullshite. There are far more people that need to be in prison. That 2% needs a boost to 3%. As far as non-violent offenders, should Bernie Madoff be released?

That's not entirely true or accurate. Drug courts have come a long way, and are being implemented in many counties across the country. Marijuana has been decriminalized whether certain parts of society like it or not. Courts bend over backwards to help people avoid jail time for DUIs, and if you do what you have to do, you won't serve time. More and more efforts are being made at the juvenile level to help curb recidivism. Community-based programs designed to ease the transition from prison to the free world continue to be developed.

At some point you have to chalk it up to a lack of personal responsibility.

Some dude in ATL was a covid early release, fell asleep at Wendys, resisted arrest, stole a taser, took a bullet, assumed room temp, cronies rioted, burnt down Wendy and killed an 8 year old girl at Wendy/ Rayshard Lewis memorial site. If dude stayed locked up, world would be a better place and we’d have two more officers on the streets.
