STANISLAUS COUNTY (CBS13) – Approximately 300 inmates in Stanislaus County will be released on Monday as a result of a statewide emergency order that set bail to zero for lower-level offenses to mitigate the spread of coronavirus in jail populations, the Stanislaus County Sheriff’s Office confirmed on Sunday.
The state Judicial Council adopted the order on April 6 and said the decision was made to “safely reduce jail populations” during the pandemic.
