Let me try to understand this....I am quarantined in my home, they want to let the prisoners OUT of their "home"....Look up what happened in Fla. when a prisoner was released because of the covid19.....

SHE SHOULD BE APPLAUDED
A Philly judge has denied every inmate’s bid to get out of jail amid the coronavirus. Defense lawyers are trying to cut her out of the process.  by Chris Palmer and Jeremy Roebuck, Updated: April 14, 2020















As Philadelphia’s courts continue to hold emergency hearings to reduce the jail population amid a coronavirus outbreak behind bars, one judge has rejected every request for inmate release — and has even increased the bail for four.
