REPORT: California to Release 18,000 Prisoners to Protect ‘Health and Safety of Incarcerated Population’

posted by Hannity Staff - 7.15.20

Officials in California are poised to release upwards of 18,000 prisoners to slow the spread of CoVID-19 in jail; saying the drastic measure is necessary to help protect the “health and safety of the incarcerated population.”

“These actions are taken to provide for the health and safety of the incarcerated population and staff,” Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation Secretary Ralph Diaz said in a news release. “We aim to implement these decompression measures in a way that aligns both public health and public safety.”

 

“According to the CDCR, of the state’s approximate 115,000 inmates, roughly 2,400 prisoners have tested positive for the coronavirus, and at least 31 prisoners have died from COVID-19 related illnesses – accounting for roughly 2 percent and 0.026 percent, respectively, of the inmate population,” reports the Washington Examiner.

posted by Hannity Staff - 5.19.20

Angry residents in California vented their frustration on social media Tuesday after the state released Coronavirus relief funds to illegal immigrants and other undocumented workers.

“Undocumented immigrants in California are now allowed to apply for the state’s coronavirus relief program that will pay $500 per person and up to $1,000 per household, according to reports Monday,” reports Fox News.

“The Los Angeles Times reported that Sacramento has freed up $75 million for the fund, which could help about 150,000 who may be facing severe hardships during the pandemic. An earlier report in the paper said the Center for American Liberty is suing the state, claiming that the money is not a ‘slush fund for the governor to spend as he sees fit.’ It hopes to block the package,” adds Fox.

“The website is currently up and running, and we are continuing to increase its capacity,” Scott Murray, a spokesman for the state’s Department of Social Services, told the Bee.

“Gov. Gavin Newsom announced in April that he would spend $75 million of taxpayer money to create a Disaster Relief Fund for immigrants living in the country illegally,” reports Fox.
