Jails can be a large source of coronavirus spread both inside the facility and in the surrounding communities, researchers reported Monday.

In Illinois, data suggests more than 4,700 coronavirus cases through April 19 were associated with 2,129 individuals going through the Cook County Jail in March, researchers from Harvard University's Department of Anthropology and the Center National de la Recherche Scientifique in Paris said.The jail may be linked with 15.7% of all documented cases in the state and 15.9% in Chicago, they said.

"Existing conditions in jails and penitentiaries make infection control particularly difficult, putting inmates at unconscionable and perhaps unconstitutional risk," they wrote. For the state as a whole, all of the five variables were significantly positively correlated with COVID-19, they said. "The criminal justice system in the United States is just one among many existing social structures that are being subjected to renewed scrutiny during the COVID-19 pandemic because of the public health hazards they pose," the researchers wrote.

Throw all the scum in one room and leave them ...

Give them masks!

So keep them locked up

So can government buildings, obviously.

but not if you force prisoners and stuff to wear a mask. that's why they want children and teacher to wear mask in schools

Like every other facility in other words The only difference with jails and prisons is that inmates don’t leave Everyone else is still coming and going

No loss to see any of those people in their get it. NEXT!

Then place masks on all the prisoners. Dr. Tam just said they work.

No shite. Jails and prisons are no different than any other faculty whether it be a business or other type of organization. The fact they house inmates doesn't change the fact people are coming and going.

Duh !

Let me guess. You're going to suggest releasing prisoners next? Just stop.

So keep them locked up?

They do this to manipulate you. cnn is a propaganda machine..

Why are you CTV reporting on cook county jail? What are the statistics in Canada? Must be a slow news day! This type of report makes it difficult for people in jail and the officers who work there. Are there any comparable facilities in Canada with this kind of inmate movement?

Why don’t we use ppl that are locked up as lab rats? There is no other use for them.

This article is written by CNN. That should tell you everything

Mainstream just spreads liiiiiiessssssss

Fuck your study's start covering the pedophilia with Epstein and now Bill Clinton 👎👎👎👎👎

Funny how media ain't covering the pedophilia about Bill Clinton cause they support pedophiles 👎👎👎👎👎👎

Longs it spreads to first Nations purges perrybellegarde

No. No they can't. Unless you're suggesting social distancing is bullshit.

Would you please for the love of God, just stop with the bullshit propaganda for one day!

No the jail's don't. The people going in and out do.

DefundTheMedia

If a jail can spread it to nearby communities then social distancing is bullshit. Most jails are more than six feet from the outside world.

They needed a study for that Workers prison guards lawyers delivery repair visitors all enter and go back in their community on a daily basis Who got paid to waste money on such an obvious study Waste of valuable resources and time Fire who authorized it

All the better to keep them locked up In fact, try your mask experiment

So I guess those jails better be locked up pretty damn tight.. it's nothing for them to have 14 days incubation period, right? Fear mongers

That only proves that lockdowns don’t work....thanks CTV.

Yup

Give them masks and make them wear them all the time. If you're pushing to release dangerous criminals, CTV, eff off. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.

CTV...please stop...

If masks work, why don't they just give them to the prisoners instead of letting them out

CTV can spread the virus through fake news and propaganda.

Not if we cancel all visitations line they did for the old people’s care homes and hospitals full of sick kids and senior citizens who couldn’t understand why their families had abandoned them.....

Hogwash

Yeah especially when you let prisoners out. Prisoners were already socially distanced, it’s called “prison”.

Why aren’t inmates wearing masks?

The best thing we have to total lockdown is a prison. And virus containment didn't work. What do you think your mask will accomplish?

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Duh! Who wrote it? Someone in grade 3? The news here is that someone even thought they needed a 'study' to prove this. Please provide details: how much, who authorized, who did the study, etc.

So can protests

I need to know if money for these studies comes from tax payers. It’s fucking ridiculous.

Oh? Who would have thought?! Lol Dumbasses. Of course it would spread. With incompetent pigs walking around and sneezing and whatnot.

Just give all the prisoners masks!!

Well of course because jail staff probably live in those communities
