Missteps by corrections officials handling releases from state prisons are fueling fears in some California counties that thousands of inmates eligible for early release will spread the coronavirus in their communities.

Across the state, county probation officials and others on the front lines of the release of as many as 8,000 inmates by the end of August have complained that prisoners were recently freed with little notice to local authorities and without appropriate transportation or quarantine housing — and in some cases, no clear indication they were virus-free.

County officials also have expressed alarm about potentially infected inmates who were released and allowed to ride on public transportation and mingle with the public.

“We have done everything we can to contain the virus, but they aren’t helping,” said Richard Egan, Lassen County administrative officer, referring to corrections officials he contends repeatedly “dumped” potentially contagious inmates there before establishing a quarantine regimen.

Exactly. These actions may or may not noticeably spread covid-19. I guarantee you they will see a noticeable uptick in crime.

No problem, just raise the value of what constitutes shoplifting and theft by a few thousand dollars again. It worked so well for CA last time.

Infecting the communities is exactly what the commie filth desire. More chaos = more totalitarian control. There are good people in that absolute sewer of a state. I feel for them.

But the liberals, fags, addicts and other undesirables deserve everything they get.

anyone murdered, or raped and murdered,
or tortured, raped and murdered,
should either call 911 for their social worker appointment
OR
if deceased it will be listed as a COV-19 death,
with all future votes to be for BIDEN/CLINTON.

..... check
