Hundreds of inmates were released from Riker's Island in New York City to prevent the spread of the coronavirus in the prison. Officials knew the risks. And those fears have been realized, hundreds of times. New reporting from Melissa Russo reveals that at least 250 prisoners out of the 2,500 who were released early have gone on to commit at least 450 more crimes. "The NYPD is not happy," Russo said, somewhat understatedly.(Snip for tweets) NBC4 New York explained how 27-year-old Jonathan Martinez, who was released from Rikers in March, had gone on to steal from the drug store Prime Essentials. "It’s a bad decision by our leaders,”

Duh. DeBlasio should probably defund the police, right? Get some social workers to have coffee w/ them?

The joke's on you, Melissa Russo, because those were not ''our leaders.'' Oops. Sorry.

Crazy thought... If you made the experience of being in prison adequately unpleasant, wouldn't people change their behavior to avoid going back? Surely someone is imaginative enough to come up with a way to make prison adequately unpleasant. Anyone?

Seriously, who didn't see this was coming? My question is, why was this insane release so placidly accepted? I can't remember any significant push back. In fact it was copied right away by numerous cities with no notable opposition.
Our "leaders" have all gone insane. And our citizens are all okey-dokey with their insanity. We are all living in CHAZ now.

Common sense will tell you that those released Riker’s Island inmates are just as likely to catch the COVID-19 virus wandering around the streets in low income and minority “communities” of New York City where there has been so much COVID-19 sickness and deaths. COVID was just a pretext for the leftist and liberal Democrats to spring a lot of their criminal supporters out of jail.

I think Joe Aripao would be a great director of all jails/prisons in New York.

Gee, who could have seen this coming?
Well, anybody with more than 8 working brain cells. Sadly, the entire city government of New York City doesn't have 8 working brain cells between them.
But, hey, I guess they had no choice but to release all those rapists and murderers and muggers and violent gang bangers to have room for all those awful ministers and small business owners that wouldn't obey all the Coronavirus limits!!!

On the upside they didn’t catch CV in prison. So it was worth it.

As predictable as the sun rising in the east, and yet these morons had to give it a try. You really DO have to be stupid to be a leftist.

While BLM is screaming to defund the police and turn criminals loose from jails.
This is the America these people want.

That was the whole purpose of Comrade Cuomo and his 100% demonrat controlled legislature. Let the felons out of jail so they can commit more crimes and never have to post bail but rather released so they can commit even more crimes. Felons are entitled now and the latest de jour group for demonrats. No demonrat should ever be elected for any office again. They obviously prefer felons over law abiding citizens.
