Shacarey James was six weeks pregnant when she reported to the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Conn., last summer to serve a sentence for a parole violation. At risk for severe illness if infected with the coronavirus, Ms. James kept her mask on at all times, except when she was sleeping. In December, a woman assigned to the next bunk developed a hacking cough.

But it sounds like they were wearing masks and practicing social distancing!!!
Are you trying to tell us that stuff really doesn't work at all?!?!?!?
Shocked, I tell you!!! I am just shocked!!!!! No, wait, I am not. The masks and all this other garbage were never about public health. It was always about despot government tyrants testing to see just how much they could control the peasants before they revolted!!!
Apparently they can control them a lot!!! So expect more "pandemics" on a pretty regular basis until we the sheeple agree to be slaves, and then the pandemics will come to an end!!!

Good to see the NY Slime has greater concern for felons than elderly innocent folks

She was on parole and couldn't obey the rules.
All she had to do was obey the rules.
I don't have much feeling for people who ignore the rules after they have already broken the law.
6 weeks pregnant?? Did she think being knocked up would keep them from jailing her?
If so it didn't work.

Sorry, Roni, you must have mistaken me for someone who gives a darn about prisoners. They are NOT there for their benefit. They are there to protect US from THEM. And they need to stay there.

If I'm the least bit concerned it's for the guards.
23 hour lockdowns should help since the rest of us got thrown out of our own businesses for doing nothing wrong. Let the convicts rot.

I thought they were all being released and we pretty much didn't have jails anymore.

The principal reason that this upsets the NYT is probably that they want the criminals let go to make room for locking up anybody who rejects 'woke' perspective, especially if they aren't violently opposed to Trump.

Statistically, the inmates are safer from covid “inside” than the general public is “outside”. Where’s the beef?

My 95 yr. old sister in northern NY state still has no appt. to get a shot. She's a die hard lib so I don't get too upset for her. I'm sure she voted for all the Dems but will never connect the chaos to them.

The death rate in prisons and jails is unchanged from pre-COVID.
It's all lies designed to release more psychopath predators into our neighborhoods.

No such concern for the elderly trapped in nursing homes where they import infected people. Insane.

These poor criminals need to be protected, unlike nursing home residents.
