According to Gary Cohn they should be able to save up enough to pay for a decent defense and appeal their conviction or get a hostess cake from the commissary.

Out of context. Typical leftest methods .

Here is the full press conference. https://youtu.be/qbI_wz1iXQA

Care to give the context? Because I can only read it as the "good of the bad ones that behave", but his complaint nonetheless seems to be that the prison will lose valuable labour NOT that these particular inmates release will pose a danger to the public.

Full context..
You can start around 4 min mark.
Then skim to 10:30 mark.
Yea they should still be in jail picking up litter at 12 cents/hour.



Many of those scheduled to be released have not been properly vetted and are a danger to our safety and property. - OK to pick up trash. but not release.

Bob. This asshats is a liar or totally ignorant of the law he's complaining about.
He actually says 10000 lbs of marijuana sales is eligible for instant probation, and heroin is essentially no longer illegal?! If that were true, I would understand the angst....but it's just not true in any way.

No violent cons or sex offenders will be released under this law, they are exempted from this kind of early release, just like here in California. His claim about that one man is total bullshit, an absolute lie.

Also note, the man he mentions, arrested 52 times was not even charged for almost all of them, much less convicted, proving a problem with improper arrests.

You don't need to thoroughly investigate non violent criminals any more than you need to investigate non criminals. That said, these already were vetted enough to do manual labor under minimal supervision. If they're safe enough to work unsupervised, they should be safe.

Wow, so NOW you know what context is?

Unless you can actually provide some, you're worse. There's clearly enough context here to make this support the claim that American prisons are modern-day slave houses. It's not proof, but it's certainly valid evidence.

Simply throwing that away, because it's not air tight, while offering nothing of value just demonstrates that you have absolutely no evidence yourself, all of your opinions are based on your personal biases and never on fact.

As the good Republican says, "If the ideology fails in the real world, there's obviously a problem with the real world."
