Life on the Inside: Incarceration in a Pandemic SHARE RALEIGH, N.C. – A federal judge's decision to deny a newly incarcerated man's request to vaccinate before entering prison is highlighting more than who gets the COVID-19 vaccine in America. In December, Patrick O'Neill, 64, sent a motion to U.S. District Court Judge Lisa Godbey Wood asking for more time to self-report to Elkton Correctional Facility in Lisbon, Ohio. Two months earlier in October, he was convicted of illegally entering and destroying military property in April 2018. He and six others, who call themselves the Kings Bay Plowshares, broke into and destroyed property on a Georgia naval base in protest of nuclear arms.
