Title (Dublin Core)

Can only the well connected be released from prison due to covid?

Description (Dublin Core)

As the pandemic settled into the United States discussions began concerning inmates in all levels of confinement. Many officials, at all levels of government, agreed that some inmates should be released early in effort to curb the spread of the coronavirus within the prison population. The rules or guidelines for early release are different everywhere and as this article explains seem to change constantly. While two well connected men have been released the article explores the difficulty regular prisoners have in being released.
