NY Dems Nadler, AOC & Co. Ask Cuomo to Release ‘Significant Amount’ of Prisoners to ‘Surely Save Lives’ — Or Something

Posted at 7:15 pm on May 26, 2020 by Mike Miller

Jerry Nadler, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and 11 other New York members of the House of Representatives have sent a letter to NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo asking him to release prisoners — to protect them from the Wuhan virus. A “significant amount” of them, no less.

In the May 22 letter, the signatories argue that “releasing a significant number of incarcerated people and ensuring compliance with public health standards will surely save lives, both of those who are incarcerated and of others living in the community.”

The letter also reads, in part:

    In late March, you issued a directive to the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision (DOCCS) to release up to 1,100 people who were incarcerated on technical parole violation holds in New York State jails.

    While an important step, this policy directive left too many people, including hundreds of people accused of parole violations, in local jails and did not touch the state prison population,” the said.

    We urge you now to exercise leadership and compassion to protect people living and working in jails and prisons.

Moreover, the House Democrats urged Cuomo to be far more aggressive than he was with his March release — suggesting that not only would the lives of released prisoners be saved; lives of correctional staff and their family members, and individuals in the surrounding communities would be saved, as well.

Only if Nadler and Cortez house them during their release.
