As many as 8,000 California prisoners could be released ahead of schedule in an unprecedented attempt to stop the spread of COVID-19 inside state prisons, with more than half of the releases expected by the end of the month.
The announcement on Friday by top advisors to Gov. Gavin Newsom offered stark evidence of the dire health conditions at several California prisons. On Monday, the top medical officer for the state prison system was removed from his position following criticism of inmate transfers that are believed to have led to a much larger coronavirus problem in prisons than existed this spring.
But those convicted of violent felonies and sex crimes would be ineligible for release. Only those with a year or less left to serve would be considered eligible.

How many prisoners are dying from it?
Chances are they are lying.
this is communism
when have we ever let people out of jail for any other virus?
never.
this is for terrorizing citizens, murdering hopefully trump supporters by these socialists wishes, this is forimcreasing lawlessness, this is for having more felons ie illegal people, voting
No, but since the left is all about abolishing prisons mind as well start now
Why would the prisoners stay in Califoria?
Newsome released them onto all states.
Are ex cons allowed to vote..as if they didn’t already.
Why not keep them all in one place rather than buck shooting them into the general populace? Oh, forget I proposed the question, it is california.
Hey Warden i am afraid if i get the virus i might give it to my mates.
Warden: well then we have no choice but to let you out of prison ..but promise if you get the virus you won’t give it to anyone on the outside.
But I thought masks worked? So if they work, their cells are several feet apart. What’s the problem-—as the liberals say “wear a damn mask”.
Just in time to join the looting!
Hope all these released criminals show up at Nancy’s place.
I read a blog post where Communist China is going to invade CA. Newsom is wiring money to them (the $1 billion for masks was a cover) and he has automatic weapons stored underground beneath the capitol dome in Sacramento.
Oh Boy! Just in time for more pre-election shenanigans & anarchy!!
They don’t need to release them. They just need to make them wear masks.
“This vile, ultra-Left governor is doing everything he can to hurt Californians, stall the economic recovery and garner support in the Democrat/Left Party for a presidential run in 2024...”
So, letting lose criminals to prey on innocent citizens will enhance his chances of securing the rat nomination for president in 2024?
That’s really messed up. Well, I guess California citizens can return those criminals ventilated and in bodybags. And to be safe, throw on a kungflu mask to prevent the spread of the fake virus.
Can it be saved even at this late date? Does anybody care? Or should it just be ceded back to Mexico or annexed by China? ... because, that is where it is headed in a hand-basket.
Why doesn’t he just give them magical masks?
The democrats are creating more chaos, as usual.
Let me get this straight. Governors want to implement stay at home orders, in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Prisoners, by definition, have been staying at home for the duration of their sentences. However, due to the fear of prisoners getting COVID-19 while staying at “home”, they are going to be released into the public. What am I missing?
“have no idea how to fit a mask properly”
I could not agree with you more. My favorite is covering the mouth only, leaving the nose exposed. Next favorite is wearing it on the chin.
