Of course. If this guy was a Freeper, everyone would rail about the abuse of power and injustice of it all. It’s interesting to note that he’s not fighting to be released, just to get moved out of jail when he hasn’t been accused of a crime.
You can always open your home so he can be quaranteened there. Then you'll be responsible for keeping him (and your family) from going out in public and infecting others. Obviously, this guy can't handle doing that himself.
