Should the State begin the process of releasing low risk inmates and detainees to reduce prison overcrowding during the COVID-19 pandemic? How does that affect loved ones behind bars or working in prisons across the islands? Will victims of crime worry their assailant may be released in the community? In today's show, we attempted to answer those questions and more.
Our guests were Hawaii County Prosecutor Mitch Roth and Kauai County Prosecutor Justin Kollar . Roth opposes the mass release of inmates, while Kollar signed a national initiative to release low-level offenders to reduce prison overcrowding.
