Hopefully, this program works well, and demonstrates that involuntary home detention is a viable alternative to incarceration for low level crimes and pretrial detention for low level crimes. If it is, then the county can achieve significant savings.

Hello I am posting this cuz My son and grandson are locked up one looking at life and other six 6 and with this corona virus I feel that if any thing should happen to them believe there will be a big big lawnsuote

@ Diana Ortega Sorry your son and grandson are locked up (I gather in county jail awaiting trial) faced with possible life in prison and 6 years for something. Don't expect them to be released. The county must take reasonable precautions to avoid serious lawsuits. But the county will not be liable just because inmates get sick. Even the rich and powerful - such as rapist-director Harvey Weinstein - are not being released even when they get - or claim to have gotten - Covid-19.

And by the way, I see online from yesterday that the report that Harvey Weinstein had tested positive for Covid-19 was FALSE and that he has now tested NEGATIVE. Weinstein probably is just trying to get out of his life (23-year) sentence. He is trying to escape prison and flee the country - is my guess. Watch Bill Cosby play the same game.
