I’ll be writing more on this in the July 15 edition of Marinscope. But, I it’s important to get this out now for public discussion.
‘This comes from the SFirst website. I bring it to your attention now because I don’t think enough journalistic umph has been given to uncovering the errors that led to this. Someone wasn’t minding the store and it’s local businesses who will pay the price.
“San Quentin prison in Marin County has experienced the worst outbreak in the system, and as of this morning 1,388 inmates have tested positive. The explosion of cases is the result of a mismanaged transfer of prisoners from the Chino Institution for Men to San Quentin. Before the transfer, San Quentin didn’t have any cases.”
How in hell did that happen, governor? Now Marin is on the COVID-19 watchlist thanks to the prison system’s screw up. Thanks, governor.
