Are inmates attempting to infect themselves to gain early release?

Title (Dublin Core)

Are inmates attempting to infect themselves to gain early release?

Description (Dublin Core)

One response to the pandemic in the US has been to consider releasing some prison inmates early to quell the spread of the virus within the prison population. This is a valid strategy because social distancing in a prison is impossible. In this video it appears that inmates are all sharing a cup in an attempt to infect themselves. Is that what is actually happening? Are they doing this in hopes that they will be released?
