HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Gov. Tom Wolf is issuing an executive order Friday to authorize the early release of up to 1,800 inmates from Pennsylvania state prisons in an effort to minimize the spread of the new coronavirus.

The governor’s office said that releases to halfway houses or home confinement could start as early as Tuesday.

The plan is similar to what other states and some Pennsylvania counties have undertaken.

It allows the release of inmates serving time for nonviolent offenses who are within nine months of scheduled release, or within 12 months for those considered at heightened risk from the coronavirus.

I posted this at the time:

And we now have an entire strike group, one of America’s most effective and feared weapons, with the most important and hostile Area of Operations in the world at this time, now deemed combat ineffective, at anchor, all because 114 sailors were diagnosed with an illness that, within their demographic, would likely be asymptomatic or uncomfortable at worst. This has left a huge hole in our defense and transmitted valuable information regarding our posture, readiness and capabilities"

Oh, and our resolve.

Turning halfway houses into Coronavirus houses. Makes sense to me if you understand that Wolf is nuts.

Bullshit!
They need room for conservative activists!

For every criminal they release, they’ll arrest a drive in churchgoer.

“...if you understand that Wolf is nuts....”

No, Wolf isn’t “nuts”.

He’s a democrat, doing what his masters tell him to do, in order to deliver PA to the democrats in an election that they desperately need to win.

He’s not nuts at all; he’s on THAT team completely, and needs to be held personally accountable for ANY disaster that happens to ANY Pennsylvania Citizen that gets harmed in any way by his release of prisoners.

Strangely, release of prisoners is the same tactic Saddam Hussein employed when his regime was about to be toppled.

Free the prisoners, close the gun stores, cite and arrest little old ladies out alone in car on a sightseeing drive.

The Democrat party.

Wolf is a yes man, doesn’t make decisions just follows orders.

More COVID 19 in prisons bad.

More crime in neighborhoods good.
