  1. Why this guy brainwashed Biden is the most racist person ever seen he said if you don’t vote for me you ain’t black. Trump is the one helping Black American and latinos American he did prison reform that release 3000 people in 2018 that release my dad. I’m 17 I am part white and Mexican Live with my white grandparent they are voting for Biden and I’m disappointed.

  2. So there releasing convicts for real crimes, so they can make room for real serious criminals, you know, the one that don’t pay their fines for not wearing a Wuhan virus mask!

  3. What are these inmates supposed to do where are they supposed to go? Wait for an answer a lot of them have nowhere to go. Are you releasing them to family members are you releasing them to a halfway house? How will they fend for themselves after you cheated them for so many years and months out of a full paycheck and pay them slavery wages now you want them to come out with $200 and think they're supposed to make it and you think they're not going to come to your area and Rob you white folks are you think they're not going to come to their own area and raw black people. Let's see who they go to first and then I'll say I told you so.

  4. This prison system just goes to show that they were built and made to hurt the black community now that this code that viruses affecting mainly the Caucasian population you want to let inmates out who may have or may not have been around other inmates with covid-19. You know that those black inmates have to go home to their black families further inspecting the population of African American. What kind of crap is this if their charges were little or nothing you should have been let him out. I smell a lawsuit.

  5. Bernie Sanders ignorantly texted about the very problem that the first step act was passed by Trump to take care of – get non violent offenders out of prison!

  6. Shouldn't have broke the law….twice. I have no pity for people that know right from wrong, yet still make the wrong choices…

  7. To save money they let the prisoners go and let them out. Bull crap serve the time it not fair to the victims were is the justice.
    Now people are going to take matters into their own hands.

  8. I have an idea for prison reform! Take all the violent prisoners and put them in a more secure facility and the others in work release/education skills development campus. If they cause problems then they can be elevated all the way to traditional prison. Placing young or non violent offenders into an uncivilized circumstance with prisoners who don’t respect human life is moronic and counter productive.

  9. But it's still exist some people who been kidnap by the psychiatric system in jail ,tortured drugged in the way to collect money from insurance.and creed fact to keep them.

  10. Great that they can be released for BS drug laws… But now you have to find a job… Are they making the companies hire ex convicts?

  11. What a bunch of bulshit that they're only releasing non-violent offenders. You folks need to start watching Tucker Carlson rather than CBS News

  12. Amazing how those who are so in favor of letting prisoners out never actually want those people living near THEM?!!…

  13. People who deal drugs or caught up with drugs need rehab…. REHAB. Not prison. Not isolation. A jail cell does not solve the underlying issues.
