Covid-19 cases are on the rise in prisons. About a quarter of them have tested positive. It's important they receive the vaccine as soon as possible.

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.

they should be used for guinea pigs

Sure, if they want it, they could be great guinea pigs

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!!

I don't think they should be a priority. Many people suffering from illnesses or disabilities haven't received the vaccine. I don't find it fair.

NO!! That ruling should be APPEALED!! Seniors and people with underlying conditions need to get vaccinated first!

Salli Mc

Amen!

Latterdaysaint

People with underlying conditions first

Sheri

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!!!

Dave Tucker

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

Amanda Wallace

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.

Teresa Parsons

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.

Rick Allen

NOOOOOO Thats absurd, like letting illegal aliens pour into our country, Biden is a security risk he is the one in desperate need of being Impeached!!! Take care of Americans, NOT illegal aliens and convicts!!! Utter nonsense!

Leslie Ann

HELL NO!!

Hidee Belcher Owen

They put themselves in that position.

Nancy

No, They should be last.

Kimmy Wasatch

Our children should come 1st, that is why teachers and elderly who are most likely to pass away before prisoners. And all after healthcae and 1st responders

Debbie Salido

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!
