California prison officials frequently fail to enforce mask
requirements for prison staff and inmates to stop the spread of
coronavirus. That's according to a report issued Monday by the
California Office of the Inspector General, which noted that the
Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation has reported that 69
incarcerated persons and 10 staff members have died of COVID-19 as
of Oct. 7. We'll review the report and also discuss last week's
state court order that San Quentin State Prison reduce its inmate
population by half to combat the spread of the virus.
