Hello everyone! Hope you all are doing well and staying safe (and inside!) during this really weird and scary time for everyone.
Although the majority of us are staying inside our homes to prevent the spread of the Corona Virus, crime pretty much never stops happening, regardless of who is outside.
Something interesting that is happening right now in cities all across America is inmates are being let out of jail early to prevent the spread of the virus.
I am sure there are plenty of mixed opinions on this decision depending on your thoughts about the prison system.
Personally, I think that this is a good move and smart in the fight to not spread the virus more than is “needed”. I think it is also a smart move because it is only those who have committed low level or victimless offenses getting to leave.
Inmates are people and deserve safety like the general population does. It is a wise decision to protect not only the inmates but also those working in the prison, since new people generally come in and out everyday.
What are your thoughts on COVID-19? How do you feel about low level offenders being released early? Do you think almost everyone should be released or none at all? Let me know below!
In the meantime, keep yourself safe and wash your hands!
