Some localities are now threatening jail time for people who do not wear masks under the unproven science of stopping the spread of SARS-CoV-2. The contorted irony is that this same virus is being used as a pretext to release criminals from jails and prisons to stop an epidemic in confined areas. Well, it turns out there is a lower death rate from COVID-19 in jails than in the general population. Consequently, the coronavirus bloodbath in jails and prisons has not materialized, but the spike in crime from prisoners’ release certainly has.
Writing in the Wall Street Journal, my friend Sean Kennedy, a visiting fellow at the Maryland Public Policy Institute, revealed a shocking fact. The assumption until now has been that prisons are breeding grounds to pass around intense concentrations of the virus, therefore resulting in more deaths. That turned out not to be true.
“In fact, there has been no wave of mass deaths among prisoners,” wrote Kennedy. “By mid-July, there were approximately 700 recorded deaths due to coronavirus among the 2.2 million prison and jail inmates in the U.S. That’s a mortality rate of roughly 32 deaths per 100,000 prisoners. In the nation as a whole, there were approximately 140,000 Covid-19 fatalities by mid-July. That’s a mortality rate of 42 per 100,000, including inmates. And prisoners who do contract the disease are dying at significantly lower rates (1% mortality) than the overall population (3.8%).”
The ACLU has warned that “detention centers would be petri dishes for the spread of COVID-19 — and a death trap for thousands of people in civil detention.”

released per plan of Xi, PeloXi, FauXi, and SoroXi.
No accountability yet. Just deaths, murders, sedition.
Don't forget, Saddam's early employment was as a torturer for the police.
Keep voting Democrat.
Just part of the Democrats plan to eliminate prisons.
Makes me wonder how much of the rioters and murderers were released prisoners.
All this crap: releasing prisoners, riots, burning cities, toppling statutes, killing cops, lock downs, etc., is for one purpose: make it so hard for Americans that they vote out Trump. They want the pain to go away and resume some semblance of order.
Trump should provide order but he is torn between seeming to be too hard (and looking like Hitler which the left accuses him of) and being too soft and letting the madness continue... in which case he is not the Law and Order president, is seen as weak, and will be voted out.
The media want to paint him as Hitler going against peaceful protesters. Despite this, he should go heavy because if he doesn’t he will be branded as weak by his own people. The public will appreciate him as strong in the same way they voted in Nixon after the the killing of Kent State protesters. Strong is the only option.
Why are we planning for kids to go back to school and not planning for criminals go back to prison and jails from which their were released?
Some were released under a special situation and circumstances.
So are criminals’ health more important then kids and teachers?
Please pass along to others, we need to get the criminals back into the prisons and jails.
Hope you don’t take this the wrong way but it is pretty much established Free Republic protocol to ALWAYS inform the readers that Mr. Greenfield is a Shillman Journalism Fellow. Sometimes twice. I’ll let you off with a warning this time but don’t let it happen again. (Just kidding :o))
