Are you really saying it makes sense to you to arrest people for going to the gym while letting sexual predators out of jail? hahaha ... I guess for you it makes sense to let them out so we have plenty of room for all these Karens and Chads. 

How sure are you that Chad ISN'T a sexual predator? Honestly, I never trusted that fucker...

Hahaha ... In today's cancel culture I'm sure he catcalled some woman or became physical and went for a hug without asking along the way so you might be right.

They aren’t letting sexual predators or violent criminals go free.  Some low level criminal are getting early release, but mostly it is folks who otherwise would be eligible for bail are not required to post bail.

Bail should be done away with entirely anyways .. it's a way for rich people to stay out of jail for serious offenses and poor people to stay in jail for minor ones

That is not true. It's been happening in both California and New York among others.

Hoodie, Have you seen what's been going on in Dorchester over the past few days? Direct result of letting people out.

You're comparing most of the people arrested to a very small percentage of people that are arrested.  People get arrested, they pay.  Rich people can pay it, poor people can't.  Moral of the story, don't get arrested.

you say potato .. i say equal protection under the law

[CF DolFan]

Rich people almost always have an advantage in life. I'm not sure how we could stop it. If you deny bail then poor people with collateral and middle class would also be punished. Basically the only people not being punished would be the poorest which is like 10% of our country.

the way to fix it is simple .. it should be binary .. if you've committed a crime so bad and you present a danger to the community  or a flight risk .. then you shouldn't get bail .. if you haven't then you shouldn't be in jail before you're convicted of a crime .. cause you're innocent until then

While technically true, headline is misleading.  They severed their time for the sexual offense and were in jail for minor parole violations.

What part of this sounds like it should be ok to release let alone release early?

None of the released Monroe County inmates had “flu-like symptoms,” the sheriff’s office said.

Eight of the inmates were registered sex offenders, 12 were “transient population,” 10 were released with electronic monitoring devices, and one was taken to a hospital for a mental health evaluation.

Some inmates, including four registered sex offenders, are staying at a Holiday Inn Express, WIVB4 reported. Three of the inmates are “level 3 sex offenders” and are considered most likely to re-offend, according to the outlet. The three inmates were reportedly convicted for “the rape of minors.”

[MyGodWearsAHoodie]

Except all of them had been released once before and were back in jail on parole violations.  If you are are arguing that statutory rape ought be a life sentence then that is a different issue or for that matter if you feel a parole violation should be a life sentence.  But these folks were in jail for parole violations.
