The National Commission on COVID-19 and Criminal Justice—whose mission is to assess the impact of COVID-19 on the justice system—reports that the rate of COVID cases in federal and state prisons is more than four times the national rate. Eddie Conway talks to Jose Saldana, director of Release Aging People in Prison, about the public health threat, why prisons and jails are hotbeds of contagion, and how punitive measures for infected prisoners are making everything worse.

@The Real News Network : Increase the volume, audio for the guest(s), for the audio for Jose Saldana is CLEARLY too low, and this isn't the first time. Maybe it's just the guests from remote who need to make sure that they're clearly heard, audible, or perhaps TRNN can do something on its end to try to correct this audio problem. I don't know, not having such experience, and I can understand Jose, but with serious difficulty. Audio needs to be nice and clear.
Releasing hundreds if not thousands of potentially infected prisoners onto the general public on the eve of a second wave is pure insanity.
Especially with Covid-19 cases on the rise nationwide dispite our best efforts…
You really don't want legions of "Typhoid Marys" and "Typhoid Larrys" wandering around, pouring gasoline on the fire.
It is best to quarantine that segment of the population where they are now.
Until this virus is contained and a safe, proven vaccine is mass deployed.
The level of stupidity and ignorance on this topic is mind boggling.
The least people our corporate run neoliberal gvmnt cares about is inmates, except for business to exploit them for cheap labour. And almost equal concern for just lower middle classes, to working classes, and the poor. This political system and country is a total corrupt mess, and needs to be hammered by millions of people, or not a thing will change, and only get worse. It's just as bad in local/ county jails and private detention, many people haven't even been convicted of anything, and treated as they're automatic criminals, because they couldn't afford bail.
The reality is that toxicity in america's prison and jail environments is horrendous and inhumane. The incarcerated are forced to drink and bathe in filthy water. The garbage called 'food' that they are forced to eat is even worse than the GMO-ladened and Pesticide toxic stuff that the corrupt for-profit agricultural industry pushes on the non-incarcerated public. The hyper immune-damaging stress that dominates every minute of every hour in prisoners is enough to destroy the health of anyone on its own.
I say all of this to state that prisoners in the american Criminal Injustice system have always been victims of unhealthy existence. The COVID-19 pseudo-pandemic is a well-orchestrated global conspiracy and con game. There's absolutely zero (real) scientific evidence that this SARS-COV-2 virus (or any virus for that matter) ever existed, and ever caused that ambiguous conditions called COVID-19. How is it that we on the left are so willing to give the hyper-corrupt Pharmaceutical Industry such an easy pass? The murderous history of vaccinations is more than enough to raise suspicion, but I don't see any Radical left-wing, Black Nationalist, Pan-Africanist, etc., even making a passive suggestion that we need to do more research since one of the major mischief makers of corporate capitalism is involved!
There are a ton of books, videos (many recently getting Censored), documents, etc., that counter this bullsh*t myth… Why won't one of my favorite programs [The Real News Network] at least give time to those who scream, "It's A Scam!"?
Then those prisoners will be released into society so they can spread the virus and to allow room for non covid infected arrestees perhaps those who violated lockdowns so to incubate them for a period of time so they too can help spread the virus into society.
All our lives are in danger
WHY IN THE HELL do you continue to report "Spike in Cases" unless YOU have become one of the propaganda tools??
THE RT-PCR TEST HAS BEEN EXPOSED, BY RENOWN EXPERTS/SCIENTISTS, AS A COMPLETELY USELESS, FRAUDULENT, INVALID TEST FOR VIRUSES??!!
DO YOUR JOB AS JOURNALISTS AND GET THAT VERIFIED INFO OUT TO YOUR VIEWERS.
So what, it's the flu! Are we that scared of people are we that weak of people that were afraid of the flu? It's got a 99.8% chance of survival rate!!!!! Heck, I remember when people would bring their children together just so they'd get the chickenpox and get it over with and yet we're all shutting down the world because of this flu? There's so many lies being told about this covid agenda it's just maddening!!!
This channel is supposed to be a truth telling alternative to the mainstream but you promote fear mongering about this plandemic just like CNN does. You're every bit as controlled and puppets to the state narrative as they are. Sickening. People are starting to see through this propaganda I hope, before it's too late.
Wow you make it sound like we should just let the criminals out. Actually here they're giving citations and court dates instead of bringing them to jail for lessor crimes. All inmates and officers wear masks and are tested. They are on lockdown not let out in groups. If you're in minimum and do something wrong you normally would change to maximum and work back to min with good behavior. No more switching sections. I'm not speaking for all jails but precautions can be made without letting murderers and rapers back on the street. Its not a wise thing to get people demanding to let them out without stating both sides. Nothing is across the board throughout the states. They are hardly the victims. Think of the families these criminals have hurt, not just the families of the criminals. Just saying.
Its AGENDA 19 that is spreading GLOBALLY
NOT…….covid 19
Is it not obvious, the exact same result as nazi Germany first the elderly then the prisons ,insane asylums ,homeless ,decenters ,same thing different methods, ,,,WAKE UP AMERICANS!!!
Only goes to show "HOUSE ARREST" staying indoors, no outdoor activity does not protect anyone from infections… SO WHY ARE PEOPLE BEING FORCED TO STAY INSIDE? WHY IS THE COUNTRY SHUT DOWN?
If masks worked (which they don't per manufacturers) why wear them? Why are people still getting infections with them?
Just today Giuliani was tested positive, but I guess like Trumptard and everyone else he will recover in a few days and be out and about… won't need to be on a ventilator or hospitalized or medication or take a VACCINE etc etc
Whole thing is a HOAX anyway… Fake non-identified, non-isolated, non-viral "pathogen"… just the LYING scumbag governments of the world implementing Orwellian/Draconian control systems.
Just because the criminals say you have it doesn't mean it true.
People die everyday. They are pushing the numbers with unrelated deaths calling it COVID to get the numbers they require to scare the people. Dont take a vaccine that has not been tested 5 years or more..or..Not at all…
Dont believe the media.. Social distancing is to watch people independently. Military uses surviellance distancing solders 6' apart to keep tract of heart rate, blood pressure, anxiety levels..it's how they've been going into battle for decades.

The "Prison Reform Act of 1995" must be repealed immediately.
It’s amazing how cruel and heartless these people can be
Wheels of Government. Machines have no brains, no hearts, no eyes, no ears and can not communicate with humans.
There are people sitting in jail with their lives at risk and who may never make it home simply because they can't afford to pay a simple jaywalking ticket or something similar.
Keep in mind. Many people are in jail who have not been found guilty of anything. They simply cannot afford the bail money to be released while they wait to see a judge to find out if the charges are bogus or legit.
SMH 😔
