1
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 1: Welcome to Prognosis. I'm Laura Carlson. It's day seventy one

2
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:11,960
Speaker 1: since coronavirus was declared a global pandemic. Our main story.

3
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:16,279
Speaker 1: US prisons have been among the places hardest hit by

4
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen. It's hard to implement strict social distancing when

5
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 1: you're forced into small, shared living quarters. Advocates for prisoners

6
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: say prison administrators aren't doing enough to protect prison inmates

7
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: and staff, and calls to release large numbers of non

8
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: violent offenders are mounting. But first, here's what happened today.

9
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: More than seventy six million Americans put off getting medical

10
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,840
Speaker 1: care they needed in the past month, according to new

11
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: US Census data. During the pandemic, the Census estimates that

12
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: more than one third of the adult population delayed care.

13
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: The virus is indirectly affecting our health in other ways too.

14
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: The new survey also found high rates of mental health problems,

15
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 1: including reported symptoms of anxiety, in more than of the population.

16
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 1: Health experts and medical providers are increasingly concerned about the

17
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 1: long term consequences of the shutdowns. The US is pledging

18
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: as much as one point to billion dollars to astra

19
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: Zenica to help make the University of Oxford's COVID vaccine.

20
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: President Donald Trump, who has been widely criticized for his

21
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: response to the pandemic, is pushing the country towards the

22
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:44,279
Speaker 1: front of the line for immunizations. The US has also

23
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: backed projects at Johnson and Johnson, Moderna and Francis Sunofi,

24
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: fueling concerns that other countries could fall behind. Finally, yet

25
00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: another grim milestone, coronavirus cases globally have reached five million.

26
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: Over the past month. The number of infections worldwide has doubled.

27
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: The US accounts for almost a third of the cases,

28
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: five times the number seen by Russia, the number two

29
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: country on the list. Experts believe the actual count is

30
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,519
Speaker 1: higher than the official numbers. As COVID nineteen has proven

31
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: difficult to detect and track and now our main story.

32
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: Calls continue to mount for the release of inmates at

33
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: risk of COVID nineteen infection as cases rise at correctional

34
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: facilities across the country. So far, seventent of inmates have

35
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 1: tested positive for the coronavirus. According to the Bureau of Prisons,

36
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: Oakdale Federal Correctional Complex, a low security prison about two

37
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: hundred miles west of New Orleans is one of the

38
00:02:55,040 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: federal prisons hardest hit by the coronavirus pandemic. Jordan Gospel

39
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 1: has more on what is being done to combat this

40
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 1: brother of the disease in the prison population. On March

41
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: n year old Anthony Cheek became the first known federal

42
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: inmate in the United States to die from COVID nineteen.

43
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: He was eighteen years into a twenty year sentence for

44
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: aggravated child molestation at least state prison in Georgia. Since

45
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: Anthony's death, fifty six federal inmates at around one and

46
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: thirty five correctional facilities across the country have died after

47
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: contracting the coronavirus, and thousands more have become infected. The

48
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: rapid spread of the coronavirus in US correctional facilities has

49
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: exposed the risks of overcrowding, lack of access to hygiene,

50
00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: and poor healthcare. The number of coronavirus in facts and

51
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: the country's prisons and jails is rising at a rate

52
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: far surpassing the US population at large. In April, Attorney

53
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: General William Barr directed federal prison officials to speed the

54
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: release of inmates at risk of contracting COVID nineteen. This

55
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: directive under the CARES Act was aimed at addressing coronavirus

56
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: outbreaks in correctional facilities across the country. Bar directed the

57
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 1: Bureau of Prisons dispete up transfers to home confinement for

58
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: eligible inmates at three federal institutions hit hardest by the disease,

59
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: Danbury in Connecticut, Elkton in Ohio, and Oakdale in Louisiana.

60
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: To qualify, inmates must have completed at least half of

61
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: their sentence to be eligible for home confinement. This doesn't

62
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: mean an inmates sentence is nullified or their convictions are expunged.

63
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 1: Home confinement is merely the transfer of an inmate from

64
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: inside a correctional facility to their house or that of

65
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: a family member. Advocates argue that Bar's order doesn't go

66
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: far enough. On April six, the a c l U

67
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: filed a lawsuit in the hopes that at least inmates

68
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: from the Federal Correctional complex in Oakdale, Louisiana, who are

69
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,919
Speaker 1: at a higher risk of contracting the coronavirus will be

70
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 1: allowed to complete their sentence at home. Oakdale has seen

71
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: one of the worst COVID nineteen outbreaks of any correctional

72
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: facility in the country. Judge Terry Dowdy of the U. S.

73
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: District Court for the Western District of Louisiana dismissed the case,

74
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: saying he did not have the authority to mandate releases

75
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: or home confinement. Despite the judge's ruling, the a c

76
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: l U is still encouraging the Bureau of Prisons to

77
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: move forward with releases from Oakdale. Amid the pandemic. There's

78
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: a nationwide movement to release large numbers of prisoners. Samuil Trivetti,

79
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 1: a senior staff attorney with the a c l YOU,

80
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 1: says critical reforms were needed before the spread of the coronavirus,

81
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: but are now more urgent than ever. As of more

82
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: than two million people were incarcerated in the US, the

83
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 1: most out of any country in the world. The a

84
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: c l U is one of numerous organizations putting pressure

85
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 1: on prosecutors and law enforcement to reduce jail and prison

86
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: populations by not arresting people for low level offenses. They

87
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: estimate that these efforts would save fifty nine thousand lives.

88
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: At Oakdale, no inmates have been placed in home confinement

89
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 1: in response to Bars memo, some inmates who were already

90
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: scheduled to go home before the pandemic are still waiting

91
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: to be transferred. So far, eight inmates at Oakdale have

92
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: died from the coronavirus. A Bureau of Prison spokesperson says

93
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: that since the release of Bars memo on March, it

94
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 1: is placed an additional one thousand, five hundred and seventy

95
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: six inmates from across the country on home confinement to date.

96
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: I spoke with Samil Trivetti, who says inmates and their

97
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: loved ones have been receiving conflicting reports from BAR and

98
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: the Bureau of Prisons, which is responsible for one hundred

99
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: and forty six thousand inmates spread across one hundred and

100
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: twenty two facilities nationwide. Of your own prisons and up

101
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: to the Interney General, have been releasing sort of changing

102
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: sets of criteria UM, but unfortunately, most of those criteria

103
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: are based on essentially fearmongering that, UM, they're gonna look

104
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: at your your past history, they're gonna look at your

105
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: They're gonna look at these UM risk assessment algorithms to

106
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: decide whether you might be potentially dangerous when you're out

107
00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: in the world. Um, what happens in the jay or

108
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: prison cannot stay in a jail or prison, right, Um,

109
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: you have prisoners coming in and out, you have guards

110
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: coming in and out. It's impossible to hermetically feel a

111
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: jail and just hope that if folks inside get COVID,

112
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: it won't get out to the larger community. Initially, inmates

113
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: who are more at risk of contracting the coronavirus, like

114
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: those who are older or have underlying medical conditions, were

115
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: put on a list and moved into solitary confinement known

116
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: in prisons as the shoe, in advance of the release home.

117
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 1: It didn't matter how much of their prison term they

118
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: had served. The a c l U wants to increase

119
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: the use of home confinement in an effort to reduce

120
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: the inmate population and help prevent the spread of COVID nineteen.

121
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: Samil says bars order doesn't establish concrete timelines and guidelines

122
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: for facilities to release at risk inmates. Another problem with

123
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: the order is that it uses criteria from before the pandemic,

124
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: like prioritizing inmates in low and minimum security facilities to

125
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: decide whether or not they can serve the remainder of

126
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: their sentence at home. By using this criteria, Samill says,

127
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 1: the Bureau of Prisons is only going to review about

128
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 1: eighty to one d inmates. I mean public ELSA experts

129
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: roundly agree that we need to significantly significantly reduce the

130
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: population inside so that the folks remaining can socially distanced.

131
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: Right So, in a prison of people releasing at most

132
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:33,959
Speaker 1: one and we're not even sure whether they're going to

133
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 1: release all of those people, but even if they're released

134
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:40,079
Speaker 1: everybody they were reviewing, that would do nothing to increase

135
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: social distancing or allow for the kind of hygienic protocols

136
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: that we know are necessary and that we're all following

137
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: out here. The Bureau of Prisons, which declined an interview request,

138
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: says it began preparing for the coronavirus outbreak in January.

139
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,599
Speaker 1: But those who have been at Oakdale tell another story.

140
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: Brandon Leads was an inmate at Oakdale serving a fifteen

141
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: month sentence for bank larceny, a first time non violent offense.

142
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: He scheduled to complete his sentence on September twenty nine.

143
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:19,959
Speaker 1: He's one of the inmates who sued the prison with

144
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: the A C. L U in hopes of being able

145
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:26,079
Speaker 1: to serve the remainder of his sentence at home. Although

146
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 1: the lawsuit was unsuccessful, Brandon was granted a furlough and

147
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: transferred to home confinement on May eleven. He's now living

148
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: with his girlfriend, our Shaun Thompson, in New Orleans. They'll

149
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: be together until he's moved into a halfway house on

150
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: July six. Brandon is one of the lucky ones. Only

151
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 1: a few inmates at Oakdale have been improved for early release.

152
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 1: Last month, the Louisiana Department of Corrections created a COVID

153
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: nineteen furlow Review Panel to speed up the temporary release

154
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: of inmates at risk of contracting the disease and other's

155
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: convicted of non violent offenses. The COVID nineteen furlow Review

156
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: Panel will review cases on a rolling case by case

157
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 1: basis until the state's governor determines the coronavirus is no

158
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 1: longer a public health emergency. Still, it's hard to know

159
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: the reasons some inmates are furloughed and others are not.

160
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: There's no public data on this, so Brandon can only

161
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,359
Speaker 1: assume he was released from Oakdale because he was imprisoned

162
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,319
Speaker 1: on a non violent offense and suffers from diabetes and

163
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: acute pancreatitis, making him predisposed to respiratory illnesses. It's difficult

164
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: to get accurate information on what's going on inside the

165
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,439
Speaker 1: prison system as it is let alone during a pandemic,

166
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: but an email's Brandon sent while he was still incarcerated,

167
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: he described a crisis that seems to be getting worse

168
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: by the day. Brandon says although Oakdale inmates have access

169
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: to soap and water, there are no other supplies to

170
00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: sanitize their dorms. Alcohol based and sanitizer is illegal and

171
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: most correctional facilities, including Oakdale, because according to the Bureau

172
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: of Prisons, it is flammable and a safety hazard. But

173
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: during the pandemic, the CDC recommended that correctional facilities relax

174
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: restrictions on hand sanitizer. Louisiana is among the seventeen states

175
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: that are maintaining their bands on alcohol based hand sanitizer.

176
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 1: Scott Taylor with the Bureau of Prisons says Oakdale is

177
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 1: selling non alcohol hand sanitizer in the commissary. This goes

178
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: against the CDC's recommendation of using sanitizer with at least

179
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: six alcohol by volume. Though the Bureau of Prisons has

180
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: set inmates at all of their facilities, including Oakdale, are

181
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: now being quarantined and kept apart our. Joan Brandon's girlfriend

182
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: says that's not what Brandon described when he was in prison,

183
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: or what he says his fellow inmates are experiencing. Now.

184
00:12:56,280 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 1: They're super close together, and I mean they've now had

185
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: to which they've done everywhere. They've closed the weight room,

186
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,319
Speaker 1: they closed the rooms where there are places for them

187
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: to go and be a little bit further apart from

188
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 1: each other. And they posted signs saying stay six ft apart,

189
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 1: but they can't stay six ft apart of their beds

190
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:20,319
Speaker 1: aren't even six ft apart. So I just don't see

191
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: how any of the protocol that they can put in

192
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: place would be effective in any way. Scott Taylor, a

193
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: Bureau of Prison spokesperson, wrote in an email saying that

194
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: in response to the coronavirus, inmates at all correctional facilities

195
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: are limited in their movements within the buildings and only

196
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: small numbers can gather in communal spaces at a time.

197
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,559
Speaker 1: Taylor added that those showing signs of the virus are

198
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 1: not placed on any work details or work assignments. Samil

199
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: Travetti says that hasn't been enough, at least not at Oakdale.

200
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 1: We have declarations from some of the men inside thing

201
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,599
Speaker 1: they hear people coughing all night. It is impossible to

202
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: sally socially distanced inside of prison, and that's why now

203
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:08,239
Speaker 1: the only thing that will work is transferred to home confinement,

204
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: um and reducing the population. Staff at Oakdale and other

205
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: facilities reported they initially were only given gloves after the

206
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 1: rise in COVID nineteen cases. The Bureau of Prisons also

207
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: sent face masks to inmates and staff, and gowns for

208
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 1: employees to wear. Coming to work now also involves a

209
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: health assessment and temperature reading by medical staff. There are

210
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: reports from inmates, the a c l U, and the

211
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: American Federation of Government Employees, which represents Federal Correctional officers

212
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: of prison and jail staff, quitting due to fears of

213
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen infection. Samil says. Oakdale expanded testing for the

214
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: coronavirus last week, revealing dozens of new cases. According to

215
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: some of the facilities and mates, Even if the Bureau

216
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 1: of Prisons increases the number of staff and tries to

217
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: isolate inmates on site. Some advocates believe it's too little,

218
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: too late. That was Jordan gas Poore and that's our
