Calls continue to mount for the release of prisoners as cases explode at jails around the country. In Florida, a person locked himself to two concrete barrels in front of the mansion of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, protesting the governor’s refusal to release incarcerated people during the coronavirus pandemic. In Ohio, over 2,400 prisoners at the Marion Correctional Institution have tested positive for COVID-19.

Meanwhile, President Trump’s former personal attorney and fixer Michael Cohen is being released from prison to serve the remainder of his three-year sentence under house arrest. Some 21 staff and prisoners at the Otisville prison in upstate New York have tested positive for COVID-19, but the facility is not considered a coronavirus hot spot.
