How does that even work? and in the end arn't the ones who suffer the most from this action the Inmates anyway?
Well, the inmates can presumably pass it to the staff who can then pass it to their families. And that's not considering whether or not the inmates in question actually deserve to be there. The way things work in this country, it wouldn't surprise me if a significant chunk of them don't.
There's also the little problem that I would bet on the prison's ability to prepare for the pandemic being dependent on the resources available from the state for those preparations. I'm not a Californian, so I don't know how well California did on that score early in the pandemic. What I've been seeing lately from the California residents on the forums, not to mention Caitlyn Doughty's tearful YouTube video about funeral homes being overwhelmed with corpses, says very clearly that the state hasn't been doing well lately.
Oh yeah, I'm still here.
