This is a great state if you are a criminal: California increases early inmate release

(Sacramento, CA) — More than 17-thousand California inmates may be released early due to COVID-19 concerns. That number is 70-percent more than previously estimated. Victims and police argue some of them should stay locked up. The releases are also causing problems for probation officers and community organizations that are scrambling to provide housing, transportation, and other services for inmates who may pose a public health risk. Nearly 300 inmates with active infections have been released.
