Gov. Gavin Newsom has announced plans to depopulate and decarcerate jails in California, releasing criminals onto the streets to address systemic racism. Los Angeles County Supervisors Hilda Solis and Lindsey Horvath have proposed the plan, which will be voted on at the next Board of Supervisors meeting on Tuesday.
The plan states: To depopulate and decarcerate is a monumental task, and the Board is committed to redress historical wrongs, deeply rooted in systemic racism and prejudice, and reverse status quo responses to poverty, mental health and medical needs, and substance use dependencies.
Breitbart.com reports: It calls for the Supervisors to declare a humanitarian crisis and to take steps to reduce the population of inmates through various kinds of releases.
