It's been more than a month since the first confirmed case of COVID-19 in our prisons system and today we know for sure that three out of 5,600+ people who are incarcerated in our overcrowded prisons are free of the virus.https://twitter.com/fredmknapp/status/1259892248994447366 …
Testing these three men was the right and responsible thing to do. People in our overcrowded prisons can’t social distance. Any possible exposure should be taken this seriously - as should reported symptoms.
Stories like this one are concerning - reports of people with coughs and fevers going untested - staff worried not enough has been done to protect everyone.https://www.omaha.com/news/state_and_regional/nebraska-corrections-officers-inmates-hold-their-breath-that-virus-doesnt-attack/article_27536af0-2a78-51c6-a6b3-ad926381e02f.html …
Bottom line - overcrowding and understaffing had already put everyone in our prisons system at risk. COVID-19 continues to add to our concerns. Officials need to look at what's happening in other states, continue testing, and commit to meaningful action to reduce overcrowding.
