CONCERNING:
“How could this be possible happen with that miracle apparatus called the mask?”

It turns out that the masks need to be on the faces to help. Who would have guessed???

I honestly th think the health department should come in.the imates before being locked up had been around other people and those families have a right to know the status of the imates.breaking the law has nothing to do with the virus covid 19.anyone can get it.you cant play guess who gona get it next game.this virus is deadly.

Why don’t all of you bleeding heart people volunteer your services and money to keep them save. Clean the jails, pay for hotel rooms, buy masks. No matter what – it is always somebody else’s fault. Its not rocket science that any infectious illness spreads through close contact. These prisoners were in good enough health to break the law, they will get through this illness just fine.

Not surprising no PPE distributed, inmates just got masks on Wednesday. Maybe let the health department come in and inspect/give advice as to how to slow this virus. This gonna turn out like the nursing homes. Im sure theres been more then just a few co’s and inmates have had it. They just dont wanna test em.

@Concerned – If people were worried about catching the CoVid-19 virus they would be at home. If one chooses to go out and commit crimes, they should anticipate being arrested. If you get arrested, have the funds available to hire a bondsman. Otherwise, if you can do the crime, you can do the time. No free passes for a criminals to continue breaking the law because they think they are just going to get a ticket and a court date with no other immediate detainment.

Any person that has not be charged with a major felony does not need to be arrested and place at the risk of contracting Covin 19 or spreading the virus. Issue them a ticket and a court date in order to slow down the spread of Covin 19 within the jail and the county.

Even if Janice Gilley and her administration and communications department (apart from Public Safety) were interested in conducting the proper contact tracing–which they clearly aren’t–it’s far too late for contact tracing at the jail now. They need to immediately test all of the inmates, staff, and everybody who comes and goes from the complex.

The same goes for the road prison, the work release program and facility, and the juvenile detention center. The fun and games are over now. We need solutions, capability, and accountability now.
