Liberals Only Talk About Prison Reduction and Police Accountability to Trick the Gullible Black Votary: Efforts to Reduce the Mostly Black Jail Population End in LA, NYC, Chicago, Philly, etc.

ABOVE CORPSE JOE DURING THE CAMPAIGN USING GEORGE FLOYD’S FAMILY FOR A PHOTO OP.

NEUROPEON BIDEN BEGGED AND BEGGED BLACKS TO VOTE FOR HIM AND HE PROMISED “TO ROOT OUT SYSTEMIC RACISM IN OUR CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM AND TO ENACT POLICE REFORM IN GEORGE FLOYD’S NAME.” HE ALSO pledgeD to “strengthen America’s commitment to justice and reform our criminal justice system.” THIS WAS ALL BULLSHIT THAT THE GULLIBLE BLACK VOTARY WANTED TO HEAR OR PROOF THAT HE WILL STAND FOR WHATEVER GULLIBLE BLACKS WILL FALL FOR. ACCORDING TO THE BRENANN CENTER BIDEN HAS MADE ‘LITTLE TO NO PROGRESS.’

Decarceration is Incompatible with White Supremacy’s Goal of PLACING LARGE NUMBERS OF NON-WHITE PEOPLE INTO Greater Confinement.

From [HERE] More than two years after instituting policies to keep more nonviolent offenders out of jail to reduce populations during the pandemic, California’s biggest metropolitan areas are making a U-turn in the midst of rising crime.

Los Angeles, San Diego and Santa Clara are among the counties that recently stopped setting zero bail for certain misdemeanors and nonviolent felony offenses.

Such pandemic-era policies were separate from broader criminal justice reform moves over the past few years that have included laws limiting the use of bail and new approaches by district attorneys who won office on platforms de-emphasizing incarceration.

Those were driven by advocates and lawmakers who said that harsh prison sentences did little to reduce crime and that bail was unfair for people too poor to pay it.

The policies instituted at the start of the pandemic, meanwhile, were public-health measures meant to quickly depopulate jails, which were home to numerous outbreaks of the then-new coronavirus. The U.S. jail population plunged 25% in 2020 from mid-2019, to about 550,000, its lowest level in nearly a decade, according to federal data. 

California made such policies optional in mid-2020, a few months after instituting them that spring. But counties that are home to some of the state’s biggest cities kept the policies in place until this summer, after increases in crime sparked public calls for a tougher approach. In San Jose, Mayor Sam Liccardo said the pandemic jail policies were among the reasons that 43 people were arrested and then released without bail on at least 10 separate occasions between January 2020 and April 2022. Officials of Santa Clara County, which includes San Jose, have disputed his claims.

“The zero-bail experiment largely failed,” said Mr. Liccardo, a Democrat. “There is a compelling reason to rethink cash bail to ensure it does not perpetuate the racial and economic inequities inherent in the criminal justice system, but we have seen too many violent and repeat offenders put out into our community without sufficient supervision, drug treatment or constraints.”

Nationwide, jail populations have risen but were 15% below their prepandemic levels as of the end of 2021, according to the Prison Policy Initiative, a nonprofit that advocates for reducing prison populations.

Homicide rates have increased nationwide over the past two years, but have edged down in the first half of 2022, according to the Major Cities Chiefs Association.

That has put district attorneys known as progressive prosecutors, in cities including Los Angeles, Chicago and Philadelphia, on the defensive. Former San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin was recalled in June by voters angry over rising crime

New York City Mayor Eric Adams wants the state to do more and has been drawing attention to examples of suspects who were released and went on to commit other crimes. [MORE]

Black Americans are incarcerated in state prisons at nearly 5 times the rate of white Americans.

Nationally, one in 81 Black adults per 100,000 in the U.S. is serving time in state prison. Wisconsin leads the nation in Black imprisonment rates; one of every 36 Black Wisconsinites is in prison.

In 12 states, more than half the prison population is Black: Alabama, Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia.

Seven states maintain a Black/white disparity larger than 9 to 1: California, Connecticut, Iowa, Maine, Minnesota, New Jersey, and Wisconsin.

Latinx individuals are incarcerated in state prisons at a rate that is 1.3 times the incarceration rate of whites. Ethnic disparities are highest in Massachusetts, which reports an ethnic differential of 4.1:1. [MORE]
