Comment on An Algorithm Deemed This Nearly Blind 70-Year-Old Prisoner a “Moderate Risk.” Now He’s No Longer Eligible for Parole.

“A Louisiana law cedes much of the power of the parole board to an algorithm…”

The people responsible for this imbecile sloughing off of responsibility need to be held to account. The stakes are too high to permit them to claim that “the brain warden got it wrong, but it’s out of our hands”, these are the types of situations that warrant standing directly in front of someone and forcing them justify the damage they’ve caused, and explain how they’re going to rectify their fuck up and compensate the affected parties. What I’m hearing is alarmingly similar to news about current problems with medical insurance and the labour market.
