SourcePeople are sitting in solitary confinement in the D.C. jail for a year for trespassing on public property on Jan. 6, yet in Chicago, nearly 90 murder suspects are out on bail.
Last Monday, Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart revealed that in his county alone, 90 murder suspects, 40 people charged with attempted murder, and 852 people charged with aggravated gun possession are out free on bail indefinitely, waiting for their trials. What do people like this do while they are free? Commit the next crime. In 2021, 133 people were arrested for crimes committed while out on this electronic monitoring program.
Then there is the coming torrent of federal prison releases. Pursuant to the jailbreak bill signed by President Trump, known as the “First Step Act,” the DOJ submitted a new policy to the Federal Register that will grant inmates 10-15 days good time credit for participating in “evidenced based” anti-recidivism programs. In other words, we will have left-wing NGOs create critical race theory types of curriculum, and that will be used to truncate federal sentences. The federal prison population is already down nearly 30% since 2013. Not surprisingly, the BOP announced that all the people released due to COVID will be able to remain free even after the pandemic.
Unless we get a handle on catch-and-release, people charged with political crimes will be the only ones left in jail.
