The only argument I have seen is that @POTUS is afraid of political backlash if anyone he commutes commits a new crime

1. this fear of "Willie Horton" is still racist, and not even accurate, listen to @JohnFPfaff if not to me

2. It is a problem of framing

People come home from federal prison EVERY day, the question should be how many people committed new crimes before compared to after reforms or relief

These folks have been home for 16 months with less than 1% return

Think of it like this....if using the traditional method and timing of release there is a 49% recidivism rate (because that is the truth) and with this group there is a less than 1% recidivism rate......you are getting much more relative safety using compassionate release

But let's also go back to the @JohnFPfaff argument, if the Horton effect is accurate, how did @DA_LarryKrasner get reelected with around 80% of the people most directly impacted by crime voting for him?

I mean, you can also challenge the premise that the fate of policies that impact thousands should be determined by single-cases....if you need more...but in all honesty, this should not be hard
