Well, it looks like the brilliant plan to release prisoners during this pandemic has already taken a turn for the worse.
According to reports, a pair of inmates in California were arrested moments after release for stealing cars and setting fires.
Honestly, who’s surprised?
A pair of inmates released under an emergency order passed by California’s Judicial Council amid the coronavirus pandemic have been arrested on new charges this week.
Rocky Lee Music, 32, was charged Wednesday with carjacking a motorist over the weekend, less than an hour after he was released from the Santa Rita Jail near San Francisco, the Associated Press reported.
The Santa Rita Jail has had more than a dozen inmates test positive for COVID-19, the sheriff’s office said.
A second man, Owen Aguilar, 27, was charged on Wednesday near Fresno after police say he intentionally set nine fires since he was released from custody last week under the emergency order, the outlet reported.
Earlier this month, the council ordered the release of thousands of inmates and cut bail to $0 for inmates charged with low-level offenses in an effort to slim down jail populations and decrease the chances of incarcerated individuals contracting the coronavirus. [Washington Examiner]
Seriously…who thought it was a good idea to set criminals free during this pandemic?
After all, they’re already in quarantine, why not just keep them there?
