Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan has signed an executive order that makes about 1,200 prisoners eligible for early release, another action designed to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus.
The order assesses eligibility based on the age of an inmate and whether the prisoner is nearing the end of his or her sentence.
The action, which was suggested by the state’s corrections secretary, Robert L. Green, comes as Maryland is facing a two-week-plus stretch of record-setting numbers of new coronavirus cases, and as the governor takes additional steps to stem the spread of the virus.
On Tuesday, Hogan (R) announced tighter restrictions on dining and visits to hospitals and nursing homes, including requiring bars and restaurants to stop dine-in service at 10 p.m. He also put a 50 percent capacity limit on religious facilities, fitness centers and a host of other public places.
Publishers Notes: ECI has 66 staff members with COVID and 21 inmates also tested positive. How that place is even being run at this time is probably inhumane. In other words, my guess is that every inmate more then likely cannot leave their cells for days/weeks at a time.
“inhumane”???? “guessing”????? People…wake up plz…this has nothing to do with c19…look at the message, he is releasing prisoners yet locking down law abiding citizens and destroying their lives and jobs. The corrupt dominion system was used in md too, used for years. These tyrants know that the majority voted Trump. The beatings will continue until moral improves.
This is pure BULLSH*T!!!!
In true liberal fashion….
so masks dont work this proves it
Fat Larry should be taking their place!
This guy is a real nut case ain’t he. Makes you question all his other decisions. Politicians are ruining our country.
Let’s see. Release prisoners but continue to confine the elderly. Why not release the elderly to a more private setting? No, crooks mean more and need their rights.
Because the criminals will obey the mask mandate and not spread the c19 flu when he’s out.
Yeahright.
Should be Illegal !!! They should do their damn time !!!!
