Lawsuit Seeks The Release Of ‘Medically Vulnerable’ People Held At Oakland County Jail In Michigan

A district court judge who issued a temporary restraining order in the case said jail officials had not ‘imposed even the most basic safety measures recommended by health experts.’

Seriously -- a Sheriff's Department official actually testified that incarcerated people held in crowded cells could practice social distancing by staying in the corners and turning their heads for 23 hours a day while on lockdown.

If you don't care about incarcerated people, do you care about jail staff? If you don't care about jail staff, what about the surrounding neighborhoods where jail staff live, shop, and otherwise potentially come into contact with you or your family?
