Thousands of federal convicts released to home confinement during COVID will be sent BACK to prison when the pandemic 'emergency' is over, Biden administration says
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
Go ahead, pull the other one
  • The White House's move underscores a Trump-era memo written in late January

  • It states that inmates released on home confinement under the CARES Act must return to prison up to 30 days after the pandemic state of emergency ends

  • Officials reportedly said the decision is based on legal interpretation, not policy

  • The decision applies to roughly 4,000 nonviolent inmates

  • Democrats in Congress and groups including the ACLU have put pressure on Biden to use his presidential powers to reverse the Trump DOJ policy

  • A nationwide spike in COVID cases fueled by the Delta variant means the emergency declaration will likely last through the rest of the year

#1 Officials reportedly said the decision is based on legal interpretation, not policy

Certainly not common sense.

#2 With the defunding the police movement, police resignations and now the COVID catch and program , look for the sure-to-come upswing in crime of all kinds. Guess I'll buy some stock in firearms companies and booze and beer companies--both essential goods.

#4 I kinda like the idea of home confinement for NON-VIOLENT prisoners.

Ankle Bracelets to monitor and track locations. Total bedroom only CCTV monitored confinement when not at work or at pre-authorized medical appointment.

Make them pay for their own confinement. Allowing more space for the serious dangerous types.

#5 Did they just say the emergency will never be over?
