The COVID-19 Apocalypse- Rules for Survival, Jurist.org



by Ken W. Good

The cult horror film classic, Zombieland, begins two months after a virus turns people into zombies that overrun the US. The lead character learns how to stay alive by living by a code of rules he has created to survive the Zombie Apocalypse. The rules are practical. For example, Rule No. 1 stresses the importance of cardio because sometimes you have to outrun your zombie attacker, while Rule No. 3 urges extra care while visiting a restroom because it involves a closed room with only one route of escape.

Both entertaining and chilling, Zombieland offers a look into a world plunged into chaos and examines how various individuals respond when everything they know has been taken away.

Currently, the global COVID-19 crisis has us living through our own real-life apocalyptic nightmare. Because of its rapid spread, and deadly and highly-contagious nature, many feel that their normal way of life is a thing of the past, never to return. While the coronavirus has not produced zombies, it has certainly created turmoil in many different parts of society.

Wednesday: April 10 - 12 is the PBT 8th Annual Spring Fling.  Festivities will begin on Wednesday with the Annual PBT Golf tournament.  Additionally, as teams are playing golf, another PBT team will be preparing a feast for Wednesday evening.  Late Wednesday afternoon PBT will celebrate the victors of the golf tournament with its annual cook out dinner.  This is a great time to mingle with other bondsmen, our lobbyists and our surety partners as we have fun celebrating all things Texas.

Manipulating Crime Numbers, Houston Edition- Investigation of 264,000 Cases Suspended for a "Lack of Personnel"

Image
  Houston Police Chief Troy Finner has released some new information regarding criminal cases that were suspended.  Last week, Finner identified 4,017 cases of alleged sexual assault administratively suspended for "lack of personnel" - investigations essentially kicked to the curb back to 2016. "Am I proud about this? No, I'm angry, okay, because I know we are better, and we are going to make it right, and we will make it right. We are still short of staff and some people say 2,000 officers, so we do the best that we can do, but that's not good enough when we are not investigating sexual assaults," said Finner. On Monday afternoon, Houston police released a new statement saying, "Our review of adult sex crime cases suspended with a code of "lack of personnel" has expanded to include all other divisions in the department found to be using that same code. We have determined that department-wide approximately 264,000 such incident reports since 2

Studies Demonstrate Recidivism Rates Increase Using Simple Release

Image
DCJ Study A new study of bail reform outside New York City — suburbs and upstate — prepared by John Jay College of Criminal Justice’s Data Collaborative for Justice shows that 66% of the people released under bail reform who had a recent prior arrest were re-arrested within two years of their release. The DCJ study also showed that 67% of defendants who had a recent prior violent felony arrest in the past year who were released under bail reform were re-arrested within two years of their arraignment. Almost half — 49% — were rearrested for a felony.  The fact that a study shows that people who have committed crimes tend to continue to commit more crimes is not really surprising. My analysis of bail reform published by the Manhattan Institute in August of 2022 showed NYC re-arrest rates of close to 70% for people with prior records charged with larceny, burglary, robbery, and criminal contempt while their case was pending. But DCJ is no conservative think tank. On the contrary, they hav
