Hancock said inmate transfers happen occasionally for a variety of reasons including the safety and security of inmates and the institution. Among the concerns he cited was COVID-19.

Pandemonium and protests couldn’t stop Gov.
Ron DeSantis from winning again Thursday in Jacksonville, where the
Board of Education approved changes to civics education standards that are music to conservative ears.
The board voted after members of the public squared off on the rule, with some saying it would whitewash history and others saying it would prevent Marxist theory from being taught in Florida classrooms.
American history is to be defined “largely on universal principles stated in the Declaration of Independence.” Teachers’ apparent efforts “to indoctrinate or persuade students to a particular point of view” will also be banned.
DeSantis has made a major issue of targeting critical race theory, which is based on the premise that racism is embedded within American society and institutions.
