Virus outbreaks among inmates and jail officers make US prisons even harder to manage. FMTNews Covid19
A security fence surrounds inmate housing on the Rikers Island correctional facility in New York in 2011.
The threat to the 2.3 million-strong US prison population was seen last week in the death of Andrea Circle Bear, a 30-year-old native American woman from South Dakota. But many states, and the federal penitentiary system, have done only a small amount of testing. Five of the 50 states don’t even report data.
Less than 3,000 tests have been administered, however, with 1,842 prisoners and 343 staff testing positive, and 36 inmate deaths. Some states like Ohio are now moving quickly with testing and are releasing data. Others are doing little.
