brahim Bouaichi, an inmate in Virginia who was released on bond from jail due to the Coronavirus pandemic, made headlines last week for allegedly killing his accuser.

At the time of his release, the jail where Bouaichi was held had no recorded cases of COVID-19.

Ibrahim Bouaichi was arrested for the alleged rape of his ex-girlfriend Karla Elizabeth Dominguez Gonzalez on October 21, 2019. Bouaichi was also held on five additional felonies.

Per Virginia law involving violent crimes, he was held without bail.

Bouaichi’s lawyers argued that Bouaichi should have been released on bond due to the increased health risks of COVID-19 faced by prisoners. The lawyers also argued that the jail “imposed severe restrictions on visitation,” according to court filings.

I wonder if his accuser is counted as a “COVID death.” Probably.

I don't think you have to wait until COVID is detected in a jail before releasing non-violent offenders due to fear of covid. In fact, if you wait until covid is in the jail, then releasing offenders is just seeding the population. But many violent offenders are worse than the COVID.

It’s okay if people die in jail from an act of God.
