NJ now offers COVID vaccine in all prisons. Here's what to know

New Jersey is now offering voluntary COVID-19 vaccinations to corrections officers and inmates in all state prisons, but questions remain about whether there will be enough participation to keep workers and prisoners safe as the virus continues to spread.
The state s vaccination effort already plagued by a confusing public rollout and not enough supply takes on an added sense of urgency inside prisons, where tight spaces and a high frequency of chronic medical conditions make staff and inmates more vulnerable to the virus.
When COVID crept into Garden State prisons in the first wave of the virus s surge last spring, the state tallied a higher death rate than any other state. ....

Advocates warned NJ prison supervisor was abuser before Edna Mahan attack

Advocates and lawmakers warned state prison officials that a sergeant working at New Jersey s women s prison was known among the inmates as an abuser six months before he was charged in a January attack on women there.

Bonnie Kerness, an advocate with the American Friends Service Committee Prison Watch who routinely speaks to inmates, had gotten several phone calls from inmates about Bethea s conduct, the letter says.
Groups like prison watch receive many complaints and reports, but this one was specific enough that we wanted to bring it to your attention, reads the letter sent on behalf of Assemblywomen Valerie Vainieri Huttle, D-Bergen, and Yvonne Lopez, D-Middlesex, and Sen. Linda Greenstein, D-Middlesex. ....

NJ launches investigation after abuse allegation at women's prison

Bonnie Kerness, program director for American Friends Service Committee Prison Watch, told lawmakers in a Jan. 18 email that she had received phone calls from the mother of an inmate informing her of abuse that allegedly occurred a week earlier.
We anticipate the removal of those who committed the violence, Kerness wrote to Corrections Commissioner Marcus Hicks, Murphy administration officials and state lawmakers.
Even if this happens, our questions remain the same. How, then, do we change the culture that not only permits such abuse, but accepts it?
The Edna Mahan prison, which houses about 600 women inmates, has been the focus of ongoing scrutiny and investigations particularly related to sexual abuse. ....
