Two notable recent studies detailing connections between incarceration and community spread of COVID-19
One important theme of much COVID-era advocacy for decarceration efforts (early examples here and here and here) was that reducing the density of jails and prisons, and thereby slowing the spread of coronavirus, is critical not just for the well-being of incarcerated persons, staff and their families, but also for the communities and the general public around prison facilities. In recent days, I have seen these two interesting new studies that explore various connections between incarceration and local community spread of this harmful virus: Incarceration And Its Disseminations: COVID-19 Pandemic Lessons From Chicago’s Cook County Jail by Eric Reinhart and Daniel Chen:
Incarceration Weakens a Community’s Immune System: Mass Incarceration and COVID-19 Cases in Milwaukee Preliminary Results by Gipsy Escobar and Sema Taheri
