'Catastrophe': How Nation's Worst Outbreak Exploded at San Quentin

Title (Dublin Core)

'Catastrophe': How Nation's Worst Outbreak Exploded at San Quentin

Description (Dublin Core)

In less than two months, 19 San Quentin inmates have died, including at least eight on Death Row, more than half the number of condemned killers executed here in four decades. The official number of prisoners infected has reached 2,181 — about two-thirds of the prison population — but many refused to be tested.⁠
⁠
And alongside the prisoners plagued by a pandemic in a poorly ventilated germ-ridden lockup are the 258 prison guards and other staff who got sick too — and ultimately brought it home.⁠
