Hechinger recently posted about the example of a client who was imprisoned for two months at the notorious Rikers Island prison complex simply for"not updating his address" with his parole officer.
"Wherever we can get people out of jails, out of prisons now we are," he told host Chris Hayes."We also put in additional protections in the prisons to try to protect both the workers and the prisoners." Around 400 of the 1,100 releases could involve New York City cases alone, where Rikers Island is located, with the others occurring throughout the rest of the state.
Both state-run and city complexes have suspended in-person visits in order to slow the disease's spread.
Please define “low-level parole violators.” My google is down. Like people that are not paying child support, stealing, DIU, violating the order of protection, etc...?
these are probably people that didn't need to be locked up in the first place. hopefully if anything we can see that justice reform is needed, just like we need better healthcare, a social safety net, etc.
