Hawaii Supreme Court Ends Early Release Of Inmates - Honolulu Civil Beat
Hawaii Supreme Court Ends Early Release Of Inmates
State public defenders can still petition the courts to release clients early, but attorneys will have to do so on an individual basis. Reading time: 7 minutes.
The Hawaii Supreme Court on Friday ended a program for the early release of inmates from jail as part of an effort that began last year to control the spread of COVID-19 in state correctional facilities.
The high court said in a three-page ruling that the program is no longer needed because the state Department of Public Safety, which oversees the corrections systems, has begun a vaccination program and has also implemented COVID-19 testing and safety measures. The court also noted the drop in positive cases in the jail system.
Hawaii Supreme Court Ends Pandemic-Related Early Prisoner Release
As state and local governments across the United States ease pandemic-related restrictions, the Supreme Court of the State of Hawaii has decided to end a program that allowed for the release of low-level inmates early in hopes of controlling the spread of COVID-19 in the Aloha State’s detention facilities.
The three-page ruling ending judicial oversight of the jails came on April 16. The vote was 4–1.
The order also ended the temporary prohibition on judges imposing bail on defendants charged with certain low-level offenses.
Concerned about a viral breakout at Oahu Community Correctional Center, the Office of the Public Defender filed a petition with the court Aug. 12, 2020, seeking the expedited release of certain categories of inmates at Hawaii’s community correctional centers and facilities. At that time, “the pandemic’s trajectory remained uncertain and vaccinations were not available.”
