In collaboration with The Marshall Project’s Lawrence Bartley, NBC News Now takes a look at the lives of non-violent incarcerated people who were sent home from federal prisons due to Covid-19 precautions. Now, they live uncertain lives under home confinement, as the government may send them back to prison when the pandemic is over.

You guys voted Democrat…
The white justice system love to keep black in prison.
FYI: Gwen was recently arrested for breaking a parole violation… She missed one phone call from her probation officer while she was in a computer class. This is B.S.
I KNOW THAT VICTIMLESS CHARGES SHOULD BE DROPPED AND RELEASED AND EXPUNGED
Selling drugs seems to be more criminal than killing kids?!?!
If they're doing good then let them go or finish their term at home.
Just what doesn't erode, as everything is de- criminalized, reset, re-evaluated, all inclusive, money centric, newly acceptable. Laws and deterrences no longer apply. Destroy businesses, loot them, so only huge corporations distrubute necessities to drive up prices and created shortages. Then victimless crimes like drugs distribution is now socially acceptable, no one dies young, gets mind fried to vegetable status, no one becomes a prostitute for drug addiction and gets battered or murdered.
Prison is no longer valid, nor are laws, law enforcement, deterrences and punishments.
ANY country without laws, standards and yes, even morals will decay, rot and implode just before being taken over by organized tyranny either within or in partnership from without. Does no one understand or care how public policy, law, politics and government by SELF GOVERNMENT were designed to interact and function to protect CITIZENS 1st from EVER becoming victims ? ðŸ¤â€Â
Nowadays, there is no border, but ILLEGALS get more money, support, aid, assistance, legal rights than WORKING CITIZENS. smh
WAKE UP SHEEPLE !
☕
I hope their was a guarantee them not making the same mistake
We have alot of people dying from drug overdose it is criminal to sell drugs
The government let the cartel in but then they lock up the innocent ones the government so messed up some of them are to be locked up themselves the government killing us
It’s insanely pathetic that justice in this country means someone trying to provide for themselves in a system that holds them down can be imprisoned for over 16 years. This is not a violent woman and that sentence was way too dramatic for the crime. This country is disgusting, sad and pathetic..
If Michael Cohen can get home confinement
These ppl should be able to do the same
selling large amounts of drugs and destroying your community is a VIOLENT CRIME. i've lost many to drugs.
SEND THEM BACK. they committed the crime.
GOOD, thats where they belong. They are not in federal prison for being good people and productive citizens. No they are there for beimg law breaking criminals. Now put them back in their cages where no innocent people will be hurt
i think they should cut that elderly lady some slack. she's been punished enough. the truth is, it's none of the govt's business what adults choose to put in their own bodies. our politicians didn't use to think it was their business to control the drugs people choose to use.
Well if the sentence hasn't been finished she should go back. She's not a hero. She did nothing to earn her way out. She shouldn't be out. She made her choices. She has to live with that. Note: Trump let them out. Not biden. Brief but respite none the less
Whatever costs more
Will be done.
Wow, she looks good! And going well!
Good.
I boggles my mind to see non violent offenders having to serve around 30 years for something they did over 10 plus years ago. Personally, I think they got too steep of a sentence.
She spent 16 years in prison for selling drugs. Paul Manafort sold out our country and was incarcerated for a few months. Not much justice in our system.
These are criminal, they should not have been let out
What is her crime?
SO the Lady AND the 1st Gentleman People of Color What joe biden DID to them by His Forced Lock them uP longer Crime Bill.. As for their Future.. You deserve your Freedom AND Happiness. I Only got 3 years for conspiracy to manufacture. Did 6 months then released ofF parole 8 months early cause Followed their Rules
The reaction of the politician to the reporter saying how many years he had been incarnated for was real emotion.https://youtu.be/1yraoTxQToc?t=246
LEAVE FOLKS ALONE
If they've been doing well outside that prison, should be allowed to stay where they are.
The saddest thing about this story is the obvious corruption to causes a so-called "conspiracy to sell coke" charge become 20 years!! Murderers have gotten less than that its terrible!!
If they function okay and aren’t breakin rules it would save SO MUCH MONEY to just pardon them. If they got their lives together they aren’t a threat
Say what u want about Trump at least he did Prison reform !
You brake the law and get caught you go to jail period no favorites every one equal please.
Prisons dont get paid for empty cells, gotta fill em up so the rich a-hats can get more gov money.
With todays technology non violent offenders should be out under watch conditions. break those condition's is when you'll locked up for years .
Just remember the 3 strikes your out rule was Implemented by Prisons Guards in California for Future job security. look it up all facts
this is the BIGGEST waste of tax payers money….well AFTER the TRUMP WALL
Commit crimes now let me go free 🤦â€ÂÂ♂ï¸ÂÂ
With all these billionaires making all this extra pandemic money they don't have worry about the pandemic ending any time soon
