In a letter to the governors of all fifty states, the Brennan Center for Justice urged them to use executive action to “release as many people as possible from incarceration” due to coronavirus fears, “provided they do not pose serious public safety threats.”
“Ideally, people who are older, medically compromised, or nearing the end of their prison terms could have their sentences commuted to time served and be released outright,” the letter states. “We urge you to grant the broadest relief to the largest group of people possible, but should this prove impracticable, we urge you to consider clemency relief in other forms…”
For convicts who can’t be outright granted clemency, the Brennan Center urged governors to use their “unique executive powers to further shrink the prison population as much as possible at this critical time.”
The Brennan Center for Justice is heavily financed by leftist billionaire George Soros through his Open Society Foundations.
Soros’ aim is the dismantling of the capitalist West to be replaced with his brand of globalist, open-borders collectivism.
