NOBODY TALKS ABOUT WHO GOT OR GETS SENT TO "PRISON" --- AS IN --- NEW YORK STATE PENITENTIARIES

Forget about how many people got sent to jail before trial  ---  the real number that shows how many hardened and violent criminals stay on the street is how few of them get convicted of serious crimes and then sent to do hard time for a long stretch in NYS PENITENTIARIES  >>>  as in sent "to prison Upstate for a long time" 


Yesterday, the best that the Brooklyn GOP could muster at the Brian Fox demonstration on 86th Street & Fourth Avenue, in Bay Ridge Brooklyn spent almost a half hour talking about crime and punishment, and keeping everybody safe  >>>  nobody mentioned how few alleged criminals, who allegedly committed serious crimes, are arrested, wind up convicted, and then sent "to prison Upstate for a long time" 


The number of bad guys that get arrested, and then get convicted, and then go "to prison Upstate for a long time" is a very low number of bad guys.....


Can anybody guess how few of those arrested for serious crimes are ever sent "to prison Upstate for a long time" ??? 
---  Hint: now it is a very, very low number  
---  Hint: that number has been dropping for the last several years  (starting before the so-called "No bail" reforms)
---  Hint: that number was never very high in the first place

In Brooklyn, for the last year that numbers are available, 2020, only 1.9% of those arrested for serious crimes were sent "to prison Upstate for a long time"  ---  the year before that, 2019, it was 3.8%  ---  the year before that, 2018, it was 4.3%  ---  and in 2017 & 2016 it was 5.3%.....

For those same years, the overall conviction rate for those arrested for serious crimes in Brooklyn was: for the last year that numbers are available, 2020, only 21.1%  ---  the year before that, 2019, it was 41.5%  ---  the year before that, 2018, it was 49.4%  ---   in 2017 it was 54.4%   ---  and in 2016 it was 52.0%..... 

For the most part and for a very long time  >>>  in Brooklyn, people that commit serious crimes there, might get arrested sometimes, and they are even convicted sometimes, but they just don't go to prison for it.....  
Maybe, that's where the problem is  ---  and not all the nonsense that the Brooklyn GOPers were talking about yesterday at 86th Street and 4th Avenue under the watchful eye of Ted Ghorra, and his usual and unusual band of suspicious looking hangers-on.....
