The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) requested the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) release prisoners who are vulnerable to coronavirus to prevent an outbreak in federal prisons.
The letter, addressed to Attorney General Bill Barr and BOP Director Michael Carvajal called on the agencies to take immediate action to safeguard the prisoners, specifically those who are elderly or have chronic health conditions.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has designated these demographics as most susceptible to serious illness or death.
The union requested the officials increase the use of compassionate release to limit overcrowding that could intensify an outbreak in the bureaus 122 facilities that hold almost a quarter of a million inmates.
The same social distancing principles guiding public and private sector responses should guide the BOPs response and ensure that its facilities do not unnecessarily bring people into confined spaces that may lead to greater exposure to coronavirus, the letter reads. Deliberate action must be taken to meet the responsibility to ensure the health of those incarcerated in the federal system.

the ACLU has not been vocal against the spying on the Trump campaign or lies on the FBI paperwork
Just put them in one part of the building.
What’s the matter? Have the ACLU people never watched the Walking Dead? The prison worked well ... until the Governor went to war with them.
If they release them, and they are on the street, how are they safer? In half-way houses?
What will happen to them if they get sick on the street?
I have a colleague who's wife went to prison for fraud and he informed me on Monday... "I went to the prison on Saturday and they turned me away. I can't visit my wife. The prison is on lockdown for THIRTY DAYS." This is at Greenville, IL
So yes they have locked down at least one federal pen... maybe more. This is a smokescreen by the ACLU.
How about we release these assholes at every ACLU members homes just to show us that they are really liberals?
To protect America, all ACLU members should be exiled before the end of the week.
Send the National Guard to round them up
Another brilliant idea....whada-ya-crazy??
Turn all the convicts loose?
Has everyone completely lost their minds?
Same as my post 26. Hypocrites these leftards. Not one of these POS will even volunteer their homes.
No compassion for the victims?
Given that the majority of these knuckle draggers are under 50, they’re not in any real danger. And if they are allowed to drag their knuckles out in public they WILL spread the Chicom Flu. As usual, the ACLU are the enemy.
ACLU believes lawbreakers should be released, and lawful people should be curfew-ed.
IT HAS.
This is why I recently opined we should keep the cats and neuter the lawyers....
I can see right through THAT little gem. Make-work for attorneys! Turn the crims loose on the populace, and just imagine all the $$$$ the hack lawyers will rack up defending the perps as they collide with the law and get recycled through the system one or more times. Naaah! Keep ‘em in there. They’re safer in the slammer.
Both the prisoners and society are safer with them staying right were they are.
Groups like the ACLU think prisons are actually slave labor camps. They don’t seem to understand people are put in there for a reason.
I call on the quislings at the ACLU to take in the prisoners that are released as a sign of good faith and virtue signaling.
NO!
Why release them? They are in quarantine!
