Coronavirus could spread in prisons 'like fire through a dry barn,' says Justice Action Network director
At least shelter-in-place will be easy to enforce in those populations. And now that the FDA approved that 3 hour test kit, and chloroquine has been approved for compassionate care treatment, most of those there won’t discover they had a life sentence. Yesterday the prospect was very different, while shortly it will be even better.
[FOX] In the wake of the coronavirus outbreak, director of Justice Action Network Holly Harris says that “jails and prisons are vulnerable to the virus just like nursing homes.”

”It’s not a question of if, but, of course, when, and we’re seeing that at [Rikers Island in New York City] correctional facility that the coronavirus is going to invade one of the incarceration facilities and it’s going to spread like fire through a dry barn,” Harris said on special Fox News coverage Thursday morning.

Harris said that there is concern about the most susceptible and sick inmates in the prisons.

“My organization along with so many conservative criminal justice organizations across the country are calling for these individuals to be transferred to home confinement during this crisis.”

#6 Are they volunteering to house inmates (and make sure they obey the laws) as boarders? No? Then please stop using this crisis to peddle your agenda.
