      Several organizers and policy advocates are calling for prison and jail releases. There has been some serious consideration with the most meaningful responses coming from local authorities that can manage down local jail populations.

          On prisons: if officials used or are considering using eligible release authority for certain persons in prison we probably don't know it and may not until this long over. That's probably a good thing.
