Barr tells federal prisons to send inmates home amid coronavirus outbreak
Clare Hymes 1 day ago

U.S. Attorney General William Barr on Thursday directed the Bureau of Prisons to increase the use of home confinement among older inmates with underlying conditions as a means to mitigate the spread of coronavirus within the country's prison system. As of Thursday, 10 inmates and eight staff members have tested positive for COVID-19 in federal facilities.

"There are particular concerns in this institutional setting. We want to make sure that our institutions don't become Petri dishes and it spreads rapidly through a particular institution. We have the protocols that are designed to stop that and we are using all the tools we have to protect the inmates," Barr said in a virtual press conference on Thursday.

According to the attorney general, the bureau holds 146,000 inmates spread across 122 facilities nationwide, not including the 21,000 inmates that are incarcerated in facilities run by private contractors. About 10,000 inmates are over the age of 60 years old, a third of which have pre-existing conditions.

In his memorandum to BOP Director Michael Carvajal, Barr explained why such an assessment is necessary given the current pandemic, "many inmates will be safer in BOP facilities where the population is controlled and there is ready access to doctors and medical care. But for some inmates, home confinement might be more effective in protecting their health."

WOW!!! COVID 19 winners!  Who would have known.  I feel so much safer now.

The law-abiding are locked in their homes while convicted felons roam free.  What's wrong with this picture?

Thank you.  The truth!

These ideas didn't start with Barr.  They have been circulating with liberals.  I read about it a couple weeks ago that they wanted to let prisoners out.

And they are now releasing them from prisons that already have COVID19

https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/26/politics/trump-administration-federal-prisons-coronavirus/index.html

In New York City, where 75 inmates in local jails had tested positive for coronavirus as of Wednesday — an infection rate 87 times higher than the United States at large, according to an analysis by The Legal Aid Society— hundreds of inmates have so far been released early, and on Thursday, Mayor Bill de Blasio said the city was working to release hundreds more.

And I am absolutely flabbergasted that Trump is posting how great his ratings are at his press conferences.  Well we can see where his head is.

That's right.  Now they are putting citizens at risk as they release these criminals out into the public.  They are coming from a pea tree dish of Coronavirus.  Upside down world we are living in. 

And I just want to mention that this came from liberals.  Its so funny that now they have a new name for Conservatives.  It is "purist Republicans".  Touted by the President. 

Well JFYI Trump tells what kind of Republican he is in his tweets.  And those pretending that there is anything Conservative left in the party only have their heads in the sand.  They criticize this media or that, but welcome the Democrats into the party.  Blind to the liberal actions this president takes.  This party is now liberal light and Nancy gets what she wants.

I remember Trumps tweet in 2018 saying he could get Nancy as many votes as she needed to be speaker.  How she deserved to be Speaker and had worked for it.  And apparently he did, and we are living Nancy's liberal dream with her liberal policies.  Trumps not running the show, she is.  And you can call me a purist any day.  I will wear that proudly.   

You watch the next bill will pass too with Planned Parenthood full funding.  Trump will sign it and people will still try to pretend that Trump is the anti abortion president.

Prisoners let free while people are forced to stay in their homes in one of the most anti 2A cities/states in the country.

Meanwhile the President is preening about his TV ratings.

What could possible go wrong?

Well,to be fair,and I am NOT a fan of this brain fart,the ones they are going to release are going to be both elderly and sick,so the their families will have to provide for them and pay for their funerals,not the taxpayers.

And it ain't likely they are going to be mugging people on the streets. They are old and sick,and there ARE no people on the streets.

OTOH, they were in prison because they have criminal minds.  They may not be able to mug people, but they can engage in practices like ID theft.

Nope there won't be muggings...but I'd be willing to bet the amount of attempted and successful home invasions shows a huge uptick in places where these thugs have been set free.

It would be great if this swamp DOJ under Trump could put criminals in prison before they start releasing the criminal herd to the streets to prey upon the general population.
