Because they have no option to stay at safe distances with over 100 guys in a dorm and just one COVID case will spread like wildfire in tight quarters with shared showers, toilets, etc. Just because they are paying consequences doesn't give a right to treat them inhumanely.

Public wants them in prison, they should take care of them. As. Person who has been in prison, the medical care is poor. People who are illegal aliens get better care. If you don't want to pay for it. Don't put people in prison.

I think they should get the vaccine, but definitely NOT before seniors. OR teachers have already been given priority over seniors. You only have to look at the daily stats of who exactly is dying of Covid every day and it is seniors!!

Good citizens can't get it so why do they deserve to get it?!!! They should wear masks and wait their turn like everyone else. So they are working on vaccinating people 80 years old and older and don't even have enough for them!!!

Everyone seems to be getting prioritized over our seniors, who are the most vulnerable. Take care of our seniors!!!

We should be vaccinating the vulnerable population (elderly and those with underlying conditions) before vaccinating healthy teachers or healthy prisoners. We're literally killing thousands of elderly and high-risk people with these decisions.

If we keep it up inmates will have more rights than ones who has never been in trouble. Inmates even get all of their medical & Dental needs paid in full but someone like me who has never been in trouble can't even afford Dental because medicare don't have dental or vision & Bend don't want to help.

Prison officials must implement ALL safety measures, that law abiding citizens are practicing, including masks, gloves, sanitation, quarantine-no more than SIX persons together in any room or activity at any one time! Educate the prisoners so they understand the importance of compliance!

This made an error! I voted NO and it recorded yes! They shouldn't {and ALL} shouldn't be allowed on all public land because they do not follow rules! Dumping garbage, open flames during fire season, over extending time stay, etc. And now because of them our insurance is going up and land value goin

These people have had MONTHS of notice. Nobody ever told them it's acceptable to post up long-term there, so they shouldn't have planted their belongings out there if they have no way to move it. This sets a bad precedent if they're allowed to stay.

I can no longer use this area of public land for fear of walking into a homeless camp or being attacked by their "pets". This land is for all of us to use, not just the homeless.

Safety should be the biggest concern here. If these people are homeless, they can travel to another area to reside. Forest service doesn't always implement preventative measures. So this being one of the times they do. Its important to make sure it happens. Before there is anymore devastating fires.

They’ve had plenty of time to move. Why can the homeless trash/burn our beautiful forest? Tax paying citizens are only allowed to camp for 14 days! What about the homeowners rights near China Hat, they need to feel safe in their own community! This has gone on way too long and I’m surprised!

If you look at the Federal Regulations for camping on Federal land it states only 14 days. These people have over stated their welcome, they need to go and they have known about this for at least six months.

It is ironic the Bend Equity Group has filed a lawsuit to block the closure. Where is the indignation for the horrible environmental damage done by these campers who’ve violated the USFS long standing limit of a 14 day stay in a primitive camp site?

This has gone on too long. The forests near Woodside community and other neighborhoods need fire protection and protection from the homeless with guns and vicious dogs and the garbage left behind. The homeless have had plenty of notice.

the USFS has been planning this burn since Oct 2019... more than enough time for the homeless/advocacy groups to come up with a plan to move...

This has been going on for way too long & it is ridiculous to postpone as they have known this needs to be done. The forest needs to be protected & these do gooders are too late to the game & so much time & money spent on homeless with ZERO results. We need DOGE. for Oregon!

The danger of fire starting in this area is incredibly high and impacts large subdivisions. It is mandatory to close this area for the safety of all. This should not be a place for camping to be allowed as it has been.
