Flattening the Curve for Incarcerated Populations — Covid-19 in Jails and Prisons
Title (Dublin Core)
Flattening the Curve for Incarcerated Populations — Covid-19 in Jails and Prisons
Description (Dublin Core)
The spread of coronavirus has highlighted people and places who are most at risk for contracting and spreading the virus and the nation's incarcerated people are high risk for both. The people entering the prison system come from already vulnerable populations and half of the incarcerated population already has at least one chronic illness. This puts them at greater odds of contracting and dying from the disease.
This article explains what measures the Federal Bureau of Prisons have taken to limit the spread of the disease and the authors, three doctors, suggest a three prong approach but fall back on the real way to slow the spread is to release people who are not likely to be a public threat.
