Whether 5 or 18 days in jail: People are leaving those cages far worse off than before. More desperate to sell to survive &/or support their own habit. With even longer criminal records. At a cost per person of $10000s, can’t imagine a worse investment. And yet, @sfchronicle:

The data @sfchronicle cites is a glaring indictment of policing & caging as a “solution.”
“The arrest data…raises questions about the efficacy of the city’s approaches to law enforcement & prosecution as the drug epidemic has spiraled into a state of emergency.”
Exactly.

“65 adults were arrested more than once for the same alleged crime in the same neighborhood during the same nine-month period. Sixteen of those were arrested more than twice, and four were arrested four times.” And SF’s Mayor is investing more in police?? sfchronicle.com/bayarea/articl…
“One suspect had 4 arrests in Tenderloin in 2021 — & 17 arrests for various alleged crimes throughout SF since start of 2019. Spent an average of 16 days in custody for each.”
Clearest evidence that policing, prosecutions, cages are failed “solutions.”sfchronicle.com/bayarea/articl…

“Since January, there have been 64 other suspected drug-dealing repeat offenders, along w/ 3 juveniles, arrested in the Tenderloin.”
Why are San Franciscans supportive of spending even more on the failed “health” policy of policing? Mayor @LondonBreed?sfchronicle.com/bayarea/articl…
