As a former deputy Sheriff, federal prosecutor, and head of corrections in Wisconsin and Colorado, I'm a strong law and order advocate—but full prisons are infection factories. People need to be let out, for all our sakes.
As a former deputy Sheriff, detective, state and federal prosecutor, Sheriff, and head of corrections in Wisconsin and Colorado, I consider myself a strong law and order advocate. Despite a few efforts and a good deal of media coverage of the problems in prisons, many Governors and legislators are not paying sufficient attention to the critical need to do more to limit the harms of the corona virus in prisons.
Governors and legislators must work now to assist Corrections in releasing non-violent prisoners so as to prevent devastating consequences to corrections staff, inmates, and the communities where prisons are located. Even as significant problems exist now in many facilities, there still is a window in which to make real change.
If elected officials are serious about flattening the virus curve, inmates need to be released to allow for social distancing in prisons, allow medical staff to have lower numbers to treat in the event of an outbreak, and the space to quarantine.
