The County is sponsoring “listening” sessions about the County Jail, but no alternatives to jailing are offered, which validates Boss Tweed’s political wisdom and perpetuates the cycle of expensive and ineffective incarceration rates.
The District Attorney blamed a policy for the murder of a parole agent, but the policy was not applicable to the case and the DA’s finger-pointing is misleading the public and placing politics above public safety.
Hundreds of community members and activists protested against Mayor Daniel Lurie’s proposed city budget, which they claim would cut essential services for low-income, immigrant, and BIPOC communities, while increasing funding for a new jail.
San Francisco’s homelessness and drug addiction crisis is a result of a lack of political will and a focus on appeasing housed residents over solving the humanitarian crisis, with the “punishment industrial complex” prioritizing public comfort over public health.
A jury awarded $3 million in damages to former Orange County Senior Assistant District Attorney Tracy Miller, along with $25,000 in punitive damages personally against Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer, after she stood up for female colleagues who had reported sexual harassment and political corruption inside the DA’s office.
