Guess in nj they are telling the law abiding to go f themselves.

I still don't understand how this helps, as prisoners are already under quarantine. If the virus is spreading among the prison population, sending them out into the world is worse. WTF!

 

[fresch]

Haha, they are in a cell = 6' and are "socialist distancing " at mess and other functions.
I'm sure they are wearing a mask.
The guards are all following all the socialist procedures, how is anyone getting infected?

I thought the masks are effective at stopping the spread? ... That's why they say that we are supposed to wear one.
If the masks really work, as they say, they do. Then why not keep the criminals in prison?

When it comes to the Chinese Flu nothing makes any sense

 

[fresch]

That is just how smart this flu is, or dumb we are.
Chicomflu inscrutable!
I will be having it do my taxes next year.

You think prison is a tremendously antiseptic environment?

COVID 19 positive senior citizens (very high risk group) forced to return to the nursing homes and spread the virus.
Old people get wiped out.

A younger (less at risk) group of criminals will be let out of prison for their safety.

You can't make this stuff up.

New Jersey prisons have seen 29 coronavirus deaths per 10,000 incarcerated people — the highest rate in the nation ...... it's been a long time since I was in school, but does that not make it only 0.29% of the inmates.

Seems like a good idea? What could possibly go wrong? Just can't figure out if King Monkey face came up with this? Oh, right. He'd have sent them straight to nursing homes. My bad.

In related news crime is expected to increase 20% in the coming weeks.

No why would you think that?
I just know they are following ALL protocols, including antiseptic, if they are then how is anyone getting ill?

Releasing those within 8 months of end of sentence. Get a grip.

California does this regularly. Can’t wait to see how this keeps crime down.

 

[pjzwtl]

Hmmm where have we seen mass prisoner release before.

As bad as it is here in NY...NJ is far worse.
