I remember reading in 2019 that then-New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, working with then-New York City Mayor Bill DeBlasio, who hated one another, decided it was a good idea to empty the prisons because there were “too many black men in prison” due to “systemic racism.” This struck me as a horrible idea, yet other left-leaning cities and states soon followed suit.
