Sadly we’ll probably never know the effect COVID-19 is happening in most US federal , state & remand prisons (never mind the rest of the world).
The David Feldman Blog reports.…….Prisoner dies. Louisiana prisoner Patrick Jones appears to be the first COVID-19 victim to die in a U.S. federal prison.
He was 47 and serving time in a minimum-security lockup for a drug-related crime (not cannabis). Jones apparently had other long-standing medical issues. Some states have begun to look at early release of older prisoners and those with underlying immunity issues, especially those with low level or non-violent crimes or those awaiting trial that could not afford bail.
