In a statement, Governor Newsom maintains he is \u201ccrystal clear\u201d in his determination not to release people convicted of more serious crimes in order to prevent them from contracting COVID-19, regardless of their age or health status.

People who are in prison that have been convicted of serious offenses are often survivors of violence themselves. Violence is primarily a social and economic problem, and dehumanizing people in prisons won\u2019t solve that. People in prison for serious offenses are fathers, brothers, mothers and sisters. Using rhetoric like \u201cviolent criminal\u201d to justify abandoning tens of thousands of sick or elderly people is unjustifiable.
