Beschrijving

Vermont’s new “risk containment” policy is sparking outrage as it traps inmates past their minimum release dates—potentially locking them up for years beyond what was originally sentenced. Quietly rolled out in July, the policy lets corrections officials hold people indefinitely if they’re deemed a public safety threat, even if they’ve completed all required programs. Governor-backed and aimed at safety, it’s backfiring: advocates say longer sentences don’t curb reoffending, while prisons buckle under strain. Inmates like “G” face years of uncertainty, barred from programs while waiting for unclear reviews—and even if classified, there’s no clear path to release. Dozens are stuck in limbo, and legal challenges are mounting, questioning whether this policy violates the very meaning of their sentences.

aflevering ICE Raid Over Misidentified Crash | Burlington News artwork

ICE Raid Over Misidentified Crash | Burlington News

ICE claimed a man rammed their cars during a Vermont traffic stop, leading to a raid and threats of assault charges — but four months later, no federal charges stick. Local police found evidence to charge him with reckless driving and leaving the scene, a case still pending. Bodycam footage exists, but ICE’s initial pursuit — based on mistaken identity — went unrecorded. ICE blamed the U.S. attorney’s office for inaction, despite a history of unprosecuted agent “attacks.” The man, Christian Jerez Andrade, admitted to being in the crash and driving wrong-way, spent eight days in custody on immigration charges, and is now fighting deportation on bond.

Crossbow Mishap at the Fair | Burlington News

A freak accident at the Orange County Fair in Middletown, New York, left a 38-year-old crossbow sharpshooter, Edwin Cuervo Rangel, with an arrow lodged in his neck after his partner’s misfire—thankfully not life-threatening. The ringmaster called it a deep, minimal-bleed wound, and Rangel was airlifted to the hospital as a precaution. He’s since recovered, had the arrow removed, received stitches, and is reportedly doing great—already talking and eating. The circus canceled that night’s show, paused the crossbow act, but has since resumed its schedule. A sobering reminder of the risks—and the trust—required in high-stakes circus acts.

Water Main Meltdown on Woodstock | Burlington News

A water main threw a tantrum on Woodstock Avenue overnight, flooding the street—then compounded the chaos when a century-old valve broke while crews tried to shut it off. Dating back to 1858 and part of the original Rutland Aqueduct, these aging pipes (24% of the city’s mains are from the 1800s) are costly to replace, so crews are always chasing grants. Leaks were patched by 6 AM, but the night was rough—traffic rerouted via Temple Street. This summer’s been packed: work wraps on Morris Place, kicks off on Water Street, and the stormwater tank in Monsignor Thomas Connor Memorial Park is on track for August. And this week? The Meadow Street stormwater separation project begins—so locals, brace yourselves: avoid that street until late fall.
