Over the weekend, one inmate at a BOP detention facility in the New York borough of Brooklyn tested positive for COVID-19.
Another two inmates at a prison complex in Oakdale, Louisiana are in isolation after becoming infected, and three BOP staffers have the illness, the BOP website says.
“BOP is lagging behind the other states” in its response to COVID-19, said Inimai Chettiar, a legislative and policy director at the Justice Action Network, adding it is urgent to take action now.
