– O’Jail populations across the U.S. dropped by nearly a quarter at the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, before rising slightly again in the heat of the summer, according to a study released Tuesday. The study found that jail populations rose slightly over the summer from the April low, but were still down 14% in October compared to February 2020. Notable declines included approximate one-third population drops in Charleston, South Carolina, San Francisco and Multnomah County, Oregon, which includes Portland. Big declines in people being booked into jail -- rather than shorter jail stays -- were the biggest reason jail populations declined during the pandemic. The study found that bookings dropped 56% across all of the sites between February 2020 and April, rose over the warm-weather months but still dropped 28% in October compared to February 2020. AdThe report was part of the MacArthur Foundation’s Safety and Justice Challenge, an effort to reduce jail populations and racial disparities among those who are incarcerated.

Wilson and Brown became involved in a heated confrontation on Aug. 9, 2014. Wilson said that Brown came at him menacingly and that he killed him in self-defense. In Missouri, no new laws are on the horizon. His predecessor typically didn't record those sessions but made an exception in the investigation of Brown's death, Bell said.
