Most Prison Staff Refuse COVID Vaccine -- Should California Let Them?

Most Prison Staff Refuse COVID Vaccine Should California Let Them? His answer was crystal clear: “No. Never will.” That’s how a prison guard at California Rehabilitation Center in Norco feels about taking the COVID-19 vaccine, and he’s not alone. There’s the Sacramento-area correctional officer with more than 15 years on the job who “doesn’t believe in” vaccinations. A sergeant from Northern California with eight years on the job who “appreciates” prisons offering employees the vaccine, but still doesn’t feel comfortable taking it. A prison psychologist from Southern California who feels protected because of having had a prior case of COVID.

Photo courtesy of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation Though the state has embarked on a recruitment campaign, a shortage of nurses at Pelican Bay State Prison has led to a toxic environment of harassment, retaliation and disciplinary action, according to a union representative. With 47 open nursing positions at the prison, members of the skeleton crew that’s left are often asked to work 16 hours a day or are covering the work of two or three people during one eight-hour shift, said Laura Slavec, local SEIU district bargaining unit representative and registered dental assistant at Pelican Bay.

Families of prisoners with COVID-19 say they re left in the dark

Print By the time Santos Ruiz heard from the prison doctor last July, his father had been at St. Francis Memorial Hospital in San Francisco for two weeks and on a ventilator. “We don’t think he’s going to make it,” he recalled her saying. This was the first time Ruiz had heard that his father, a 61-year-old inmate at San Quentin State Prison, even had the virus. “It wasn’t right,” Ruiz said. “They waited to a point where a person can’t talk, a person can’t communicate with his family that loved him.” Advertisement As the pandemic has ravaged California prisons, some families say that officials have failed to inform them when their loved ones have been hospitalized with the virus receiving a call only when it might already be too late to say their goodbyes, act as surrogate decision-makers or provide critical emotional support.
