Big Apple back in business, churches reopen, vaccine poll: News from around our 50 states
Montgomery:Multiple men incarcerated at the Federal Prison Camp have signed their names to a lawsuit against the Bureau of Prisons, asking a federal judge to order officials to begin processing inmates to home confinement, compassionate release or to another prison to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus. The Federal Prison Camp has not reported outbreak levels of infection. In fact, only two active cases were reported among staff and none in the inmate population as of Friday. But in court filings in recent weeks, multiple men said lax protective measures and continued movement in and out of the prison by guards and inmates who work on Maxwell Air Force Base is putting the prison population at increased risk. Nearly 80 federal prisoners across the country have died from COVID-19 complications, according to the most recent data release by the Bureau of Prisons, and the pandemic has prompted multiple lawsuits from prisoners and their supporters. On Thursday, the U.S. Supreme Court blocked a federal judge’s order to begin removing 800 inmates in an Ohio prison, according to a NBC News report. The Supreme Court order will allow the federal government additional time to challenge the federal order. The American Civil Liberties Union said nine prisoners have died and at least 20% of the population has been infected by the coronavirus at Elkton Federal Correctional Institution in LIsbon, Ohio.
