The California state prison system now counts 15 inmates who have
died of coronavirus-related causes as of Friday. Overall, more than
2,440 inmates in state prisons have tested positive for the virus,
despite efforts to test prison staff and release inmates early.
Those figures do not count local and federal prison populations in
the state, which have also experienced coronavirus outbreaks.
Meanwhile, some inmates have reported lack of access to safety
equipment and healthcare. We discuss how coronavirus has spread in
California prisons and how measures to prevent the illness are
falling short.
