Biden commutes sentence of inmate who murdered a prison guard!

President Biden just commuted the death sentences of 37 inmates on death row to life in prison. Including Anthony George Battle who killed a prison guard! 

The full list is HERE

Here's Anthony George Battle!

Who was Anthony George Battle?

According to 11Alive-

He even appealed his death sentence in 1999 and lost. In the appeal we learn he bludgeoned the CO to death with a hammer! (This is eerily similar to the death of MN Correctional Officer Jospeh Gomm who was murdered by an inmate with a sledge hammer).

From his 1999 appeal-

Not only did Battle lose the Appeal to overturn the Death Sentence it was said that he was already serving a 99 year sentence for rape and murder so adding more time for the murder of the CO was pointless, The Death Penalty stood. UNTIL BIDEN!

Detention Officer murdered by inmate

The Western Journal is reporting that Detention Officer Isaiah Patrick Bias was assaulted and killed by an inmate after being struck in the head. RIP Detention Officer Bias.

Trump's upcoming National Emergency and Corrections

President Elect Donald Trump has confirmed he will declare a National Emergency and begin mass deportations once in office. See Alpha News. According to sources criminals will be the first to go.

Many jails in Minnesota are also ICE and Federal inmate holding facilities. Sherburne County comes to mind.

Sherburne County Jail/Ice facility

Detention Deputies/Correctional Officers will play a crucial role.

Other counties, like Hennepin do not honor ICE detainers. Before 2014 ICE picked up from the Hennepin County jail 5 days a week. 3-5 inmates a day, more on Mondays. 

Currently Hennepin County has an overcrowding problem. Fortunately for them, and despite their policy that should ease once these repeat offenders get deported. They would do well to rethink their policy. 

CO's in county jails holding ICE inmates will have the benefit of overtime and their facilities will actually make money from Federal contracts easing the burden on local taxpayers.

Minnesota has up to 140,000 illegal aliens in it's border. They take up low income housing and shelter space from citizens and help overcrowd jails They increase costs to our schools who are always short of funds due to needing interpreters and giving them free breakfast and lunch. Beginning January 1st (in violation of Federal Law) Minnesota will allow them to be on MNCARE (with Federal Medicaid funds) making healthcare even more expensive for citizens.

Mass deportation will make Minnesota safer and  more affordable for citizens and corrections officers will play a big part.

Hennepin County delays vote to fund jail annex

This is interesting. The DOC says that the Hennepin County Jail must reduce it's inmate count from over 800 to 600 because of low staff to inmate ratios.  They have a new deadline of December 5th to comply.

The Sheriff's Office and the County have two choices. Hire enough staff, which is a slow process or reduce inmate population through annexing or releasing inmates.

With a deadline looming the Hennepin County Board chose to delay the vote!

I know I'm the Sheriff, but I need your help, "Witt told the board saying the Hennepin County jail has to comply with new State restrictions that take effect Dec. 5. Otherwise she might have to tell area police chiefs there is no room for new prisoners. We have to figure it out."

It's a sad day when the County can't keep enough Detention Deputies to staff the jail which is a basic constitutional function of the Sheriff's Office.

It's even sadder that they risk leaving criminals to run loose in the County.
