This isn’t a joke or an exaggerated statement, this is 100% truth.

California Governor Gavin Newsom is about to make California the most dangerous state in the Union to reside in because he is planning on releasing criminals from prison all for the sake of “slowing the spread of COVID-19”.

“These actions are taken to provide for the health and safety of the incarcerated population and staff,” Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation Secretary Ralph Diaz said in a news release. “We aim to implement these decompression measures in a way that aligns both public health and public safety.”

Why oh why oh why do liberals care so much more about criminals than anyone else?

An estimated 8,000 inmates could be eligible for release by the end of August, in addition to the state’s reduction of about 10,000 inmates since Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency in March, the state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) said.

The CDCR says its previous “pandemic emergency decompression efforts” have reduced inmate populations system-wide by approximately 10,000 people already, to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission within its facilities.

According to the CDCR, of the state’s approximate 115,000 inmates, roughly 2,400 prisoners have tested positive for the coronavirus, and at least 31 prisoners have died from COVID-19 related illnesses – accounting for roughly 2 percent and 0.026 percent, respectively, of the inmate population.

How has this planned played out so far? Not very well. They’ve already released some inmates back into the public, and has it slowed anything? Nope, all it’s done is put convicted felons back on the street which has resulted in more deaths.

So just to sum this up and make sure you understand what is being done here, violent criminals, pedophiles, and rapists are being let loose into the public because Gov. Newsom thinks that this will magically slow the spread of the virus somehow.
