A Super-Spreader Jail Keeps Sparking COVID Outbreaks Across the U.S.

Title (Dublin Core)

A Super-Spreader Jail Keeps Sparking COVID Outbreaks Across the U.S.

Description (Dublin Core)

When Covid-19 put much of the U.S. on lockdown one of the things that kept everyone entertained and sane was binge watching streaming services like Netflix and Amazon. One of the breakout hits was a show called Tiger King. This news story explains how the "Tiger King's" stay at a local jail while waiting to transfer into the federal prison system, like many others across the country, has resulted in the spread of COVID-19 through out correctional facilities.
While is seems obvious how much time, man power, and money it would take to transfer incarcerated people between facilities safely it is outrageous that US Marshalls were giving people fever reducers like Tylenol so that they would pass a temperature check and their transfer would continue.
