Working in the City of St Louis is dangerous, and the libtards running the city are making it even more dangerous by releasing dangerous criminals onto the streets of St Louis, unchecked, for up to 23 hours per day.
The so-called “halfway house” houses more than 500 criminal parolees who are allowed to leave the facility during the day, and are following the rules as long as they spend 1 hour per day inside the quasi prison.
These “parolees are a dangerous bunch that roam the streets of St Louis pan-handling, and committing crimes like robbery, assault, rape, and I believe even murder.
Don’t let the barbed wire in the picture fool you; it is just there for looks. The gate into the facility stands wide open 24 hours a day, and the criminals inside are free to come and go between crimes.
Just a few weeks ago we had the US Marshall’s hunting a murderer in downtown St Louis, and found him hiding underneath a desk in an office. We heard the murderer was from the so-called “halfway house” on 1st street, and had actually been given a job doing odd jobs around the office building.
I don’t think that these criminals should be free to commit crimes and cause problems for the people and businesses in Downtown St Louis. The facility needs to be moved out to a more rural area, where the criminals will not have a major metropolis to terrorize
BUT the City of St Louis is run by a bunch of brainless libtards, who don’t have a fucking clue how to run a city – which is easy to realize when you see all of the problems in St Louis. Also Democrats don’t care too much about crime, because most of the Democrats are criminals.
In the shadow of the city’s most iconic landmark, sits a large facility that some believe is making St. Louis a more dangerous place.
“That system isn’t working,” said Police Chief Sam Dotson on Tuesday.
Dotson’s comment is in reference to the St. Louis Community Release Street on 1st Street in the Near North Riverfront neighborhood.
It’s Missouri’s last state-run halfway house, where more than 500 parolees are supposed to be working toward re-entering society.
But Dotson said many of them are ending up in handcuffs all over again.
“It’s in and out process,” Dotson said. “There’s no accountability for hours upon hours during the day. It’s a recipe for disaster.”
Dotson said part of the issue is some parolees who leave the facility during the day to commit crimes against innocent people.
Some of the crime, he said, is taking place in the city’s urban core, and it ranges from robbery to sexual assault.
“We have had several-hundred contacts over the past year with inmates or people who claim to be residents of the halfway house,” he said.
Now, there’s an organized effort in St. Louis to follow Kansas City’s lead.
People there successfully lobbied to have its halfway house turned into a minimum security prison.
Dotson said that makes it more difficult for parolees to come and go.
“The business community and the residents came together and said ‘No, in our town,’” Dotson said.
Jared Opsal is the executive director of the Downtown St. Louis Neighborhood Association.
He said several downtown residents are worried about the halfway house and its residents.
“There’s concern about if this facility is really the right facility for offering programs for these people,” he said.
