ACLU files lawsuit seeking release or vaccination of more San Diego County inmates after latest Covid-19 outbreak
CNN
After a recent outbreak of Covid-19 infections at the largest correctional facility in San Diego County, a class-action lawsuit was filed Wednesday by the American Civil Liberties Union and a community advocacy group against San Diego County Sheriff Bill Gore, demanding he protect local incarcerated people from further infections.
The lawsuit calls for Gore to reduce the jail population to levels where people can safely distance, as well as provide widespread vaccinations in jails at levels to ensure everyone's safety. Prison populations have been at high risk for Covid-19 during the pandemic due to inmates' proximity to one another. Some states have classified correctional workers among those first to receive vaccines, yet the prison vaccination timeline has varied. A federal judge ruled last month that inmates in Oregon were to be inoculated immediately, jumping ahead of many of the state's other citizens.
