SDNY COURTHOUSE,
March 21 -- Updating on
Coronavirus in the Federal
prisons, at least those in New
York, on March 20 SDNY Chief
Magistrate Judge Gabriel W.
Gorenstein said during an
arraignment in largely empty
Courtroom 24B that there were
no cases but that one test
from the MDC in Brooklyn
remained outstanding.
Inner City Press,
the only media in the
courtroom, reported it here.
On March
21, the US Bureau of Prisons
put on its website that there
was one inmate in the MDC in
Brooklyn who had tested
positive. Photo here.
BOP has
also disclosed two staff
positive, in Grand Prairie,
Texas and Leavenworth, Kansas,
after which the site added "no
inmate contact." It was not
entirely clear if that applied
to both BOP staffers and
locations.
Now
in the SDNY and EDNY, and
presumably other Federal
District Court, there are
increasing requests for bond
hearings to get detainees
released. Inner City Press
will be there, in the SDNY,
and report on more. Watch this
site.
