I guess let them all out on due process basis

It’s a jail that regularly kills people.

They say second death this year in the article, but if you talk to homeless folks, the trick is to kick you out before you die so it doesn’t count.

"We released them, it's not our fault they were found dead in a ditch a mile from the jail".

Didn't show up to court? Oh well, I guess that's life in prison then.

here's hoping the inmates sue for violation of right to a speedy trial. 👍
