Building bigger jails means spending more money. People already balk at spending money for schools or assisting the poor. What chance do you think jails have?

Better quality of life if we take the bad seeds out of society!

you don't need to build jails...there will be empty shopping malls all across the country with huge parking lots and nobody shopping....they can convert them into factories and use that free prison labor to make america great again! Haven't you seen Schindler's list? Trumps tiny hands will be needed to polish the insides of shell casings!

I'm not arguing against it, I'm just saying that John Q public has not gone for it in my 7+ decades of observation. Okay, the first ten years don't count.

people really need to read that interview. There's a ton of information there

and of course, a ton of reasons to hate the trump white house for it's incompetence and ignorant ideology.

That's not clear. Obviously, that guy shouldn't have been, but some prisoners probably should have been to prevent a massive outbreak in jails.

Of course, the root of this problem isn't the pandemic, but our issue with over-jailing. Violent criminals need to be put in prison, but we jail so many non-violent offenders that we have constantly overfilled jails. That causes a lot of problems, for no good reason, and a pandemic is just the latest.

Build bigger jails.

Isolate covid patients immediately and regular screenings.

They are in jail, the population shpuld be manageable, but unfortunately like all things, they suck at what they do.

Accused Rapists shouldn't be released. Total flunk of the system here and now the girl who allegedly got raped is dead.

the bulk of consensual crimes are a bunch of crap.

I give up. What are consensual crimes? Isn't the essence of crime that someone didn't consent to whatever happened?

a consensual crime would be something like prostitution. Or drug use. Where the only persons involved consent to the action, but the law deems the action illegal.

Not the recommended way to wear a mask, but who's complaining?

Woman claiming to be from bogus 'Freedom To Breathe Agency' is filmed telling Orange County grocery store worker that she could 'go to jail for five years' for telling customers to wear face masks

• Lenka Koloma says she's from the 'Freedom to Breathe Agency' and threatens store worker Liz Chavez with legal action should she force her to wear a mask
• The exchange occurred on Friday afternoon in Orange County when Chavez was told that two maskless women were in store in breach of its COVID-19 policy
• Wearing hats and badges with FTBA written across them, Koloma told Chavez she could go to jail for up to five years for 'impersonating a doctor'
• Founded by Koloma, the Freedom to Breathe Agency is not a real government agency and operates out of a private Facebook page
• Koloma said she and the woman she was with ‘both have medical, health conditions and also religious beliefs that do not allow us to wear a mask'
• Koloma declined to specify what those conditions were when quizzed

Just before Corona virus started shutting things down, I went to Stitches West, the largest yarn show west of the Mississippi. Got three bags of yarn, but already had yarn for three projects lined up. Just completed my first Stitches West project.

Sometimes knitting patterns are just numbered. Other times they are given descriptive names, eg V Neck Tweed Cardigan. But sometimes designers give patterns fanciful names that have nothing to do with the actual item. This pattern is called, for whatever reason, Dragon Rider.

Dracarys.
