The Supreme Court has rejected an appeal from a Louisiana inmate who argued that a state prison was not doing enough to protect him from catching Covid-19
The Supreme Court rejected an appeal from a Louisiana inmate on Friday who argued that a state prison was not doing enough to protect him from catching Covid-19.
The move effectively blocks a lower court order that required the prison to submit a plan detailing the steps it is taking to implement precautionary measures. Christopher Marlowe, serving at the state's B.B. Rayburn Correctional Center for attempted second degree murder, suffers from diabetes, which makes him susceptible to serious complications should he contract Covid-19. He says the facility is not doing enough to protect him.
