Critics have said the Justice Department should fast-track the release of non-violent offenders who qualify based on age and pre-existing conditions.
A total of 14 inmates and 13 staff in federal prisons across the United States have fallen ill with the virus, according to the BOP’s website. Jones was serving his prison sentence at a low security facility in Oakdale, Louisiana, and first developed symptoms on March 19, the BOP said. He was transported to a local hospital after complaining about a persistent cough on March 19, and placed on a ventilator the next day after his condition worsened. He passed away on Saturday, the BOP said in a press release.
I deemed those people to be the ones who are protected. So if it can access the prison, how about the facilities which are said to be providers of essential products?
Scary, he show symptoms on 19 March and even with ventilators and medical care died yesterday. Only 49 years old...how to stop spread now in prisons- will be difficult.🙏
Race?
My God!
With people being arrested for not following lockdown precautions, they will go in to spread it as they won't show symptoms early. 😕
They found a way to kill black men in prisons
Was was the nature of his crime ?
How did this happen?
It's reached the prisons🙆♀️
This means more prisoners are also infected n they must be all tested
