Progressives don't seem to get the correlation between releasing violent criminals from jail and a subsequent rise in the violent crime rate. It's a complete surprise.
The coronavirus is being used as an excuse for implementing all sorts of progressive ideas, including ending "mass incarceration".
The Detroit News: Wayne County Jail COVID-19 releases include violent criminals
When a Wayne County judge announced eight months ago that he would begin releasing jail inmates in response to the coronavirus outbreak, he said people accused of violent crimes likely would stay behind bars.
That statement didn't really age well, nor did it take long to expire:
[The Judge then freed] at least 35 Wayne County Jail inmates who were accused or convicted of violent crimes, according to a Detroit News review of jail records.Among those released: four men who were convicted of criminal sexual assault, and 14 others who were convicted of assault.
What could possibly go wrong?
One of the convicted sex offenders is back in jail after prosecutors say he got out and raped three women at knifepoint.
Oh, well, that.
Dozens of other jail inmates who currently are charged with or were convicted of nonviolent crimes, but who have had previous violent convictions, also were released because of COVID-19, according to records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act.
So even more things can go wrong.
There is, of course, no consequences to the judge and others making these decisions to release these predators back into the community.

Hey Aaron;
the liberal Judges don't care, the decisions they make only affect the "mundanes" not them so they don't care, so they can be as "progressive" and as "woke" as possible. no skin off their nose.
They hide behind their security, that the proles don't enjoy... sigh
I think that all judges should be given homes in special gated communities just set aside for judges and politicians, and every criminal released early should be placed in half-way houses in those same communities for the remainder of their sentences.
