Michigan adds 2,403 cases, 7 deaths from COVID-19

Response to COVID-19 in Michigan prisons is cruel and unusual punishment, say advocates

Credit Master Sgt. David Eichaker / Air National Guard So far during the pandemic, more than 62% of Michigan s 40,886 inmates have tested positive for COVID-19. 138 prisoners have died of the infection. It shouldn t have happened, says Tony Gant, President of the Jackson chapter of Nation Outside, an advocacy organization for Michigan inmates. People in prisons and jails have largely been looked at as other than human, says Gant, who spent 20 years incarcerated himself.  Otherwise, there would be no way we would allow these infection rates and deaths to occur. Gant and other advocates say inmates should have been among the first groups vaccinated against COVID-19, because they can t take steps to protect themselves from infection.
