This weekend, the Monroe County, New York, jail freed more than 50 inmates from their custody as part of the state’s Department of Corrections and Community Services jailbreak effort in the midst of the coronavirus, according to WIVB 4.
Among those 50 inmates released were eight sex offenders, three of which were convicted for raping a child. Even as the New York state courts have deemed the sex offenders likely to re-victimize children, they were released.
Patrick Phelan, the chief of police in Greece, New York, told WIVB 4 that his office was not notified by state officials of the sex offenders’ release, though the state has placed them in a local Holiday Inn Express.
“We weren’t told by anyone. I think good practice would be if you’re going to release convicted felons,” Phelan said. “Some of them very violent some of those level 3 sex offenders, You might want to give law enforcement the heads up.”
Cuomo’s Department of Corrections and Community Services defended their decision in a statement to local media, saying, “This significant action is being taken in response to a growing number of COVID-19 cases in local jails over the past few days and weeks.”
“Our top priority remains the public health and safety of New Yorkers during this global public health emergency and this measure will further protect a vulnerable population from contracting and transmitting this infectious disease,” a department official said.
The move comes as Cuomo has ordered the release of 1,100 inmates who have broken the terms of their parole in fear that the convicts may contract the coronavirus in prison.

The voters in NY have only themselves to blame for insane decisions such as this.
NOW, how may diseases can you catch while being raped?
Once again the cure is becoming worse than the affliction.
This is OUTRAGEOUS.
The Holiday Inn Express is only 2.5 stars. HILTON PREMIERE, OR NOTHING.
Likely to re-victimize a child!!! OMG how stupid is this place!!! Sure, we don’t want the perv to get the virus but let’s go ahead and mess up a child for the rest of their life!
These people are crazy.
First disarm the people and then let criminals loose, sounds like a textbook example of leftist policy.
This is insane. And there’s a playground right outside the hotel.
There were “0” cases in the prison. Damn Governor.
So, in order to prevent convicts from getting the sniffles, they just loose the criminal virus out on to the rest of us. That makes sense.
It’s like the Seinfeld routine — “The news kept talking about this terrible virus -— yadda, yadda, yadda — we had to let all the prisoners out of prison.”
It’s like no one expects any logical justification for it. The yadda, yadda, yadda is sufficient.
In Calif the governor is releasing murderers.
Scum bag DeBlasio has released 600 criminals including a murderer. He gives them taxi fares a cell phone and puts them up at the Pennsylvania hotel across from Penn Station. This whole thing thanks to the democRATS has evolved into the “Night of the Living Dead”.
“The voters in NY have only themselves to blame for insane decisions such as this.”
You’re right, there are many NY’ers who hate scumbags Cuomo and his comrade DeBlasio. They get their majorities from the illiterates in the city who control the state.
