Innocent, but the majority of people are eligible for bail and can return to the community, but they are too poor to pay their bail. So nobody shoul sit in jail just because theyre poor, and especially when there is a pandemic going on. Its looking grim. Its only a matter of time before we all get it. Reporter there is an added touch of desperation to calls coming out of jails and prisons. Were just in here. Look. Reporter around the country these days. Guys is coughing. Theres no way to escape it. If this is the last time you see me, bro, know that i love you. Not to sound like that, but its real. Reporter confinement and social distancing are mostly incompatible. Outside of a cell, you have to basically figure out how are you going to adjust because a few feet down from you is another person. Reporter erlan woods is out of prison now, but a couple years back he was my guide to prison life at san quinten outside san francisco. You dont have a hell of a lot of room in here. Its like one person can only move at a time. If im we had to turn sideways. When i say that small space, as you know you was in there, its about the size of an average persons bathroom. Thats what that confinement is. Reporter a dna n kahn is happy to describe himself these days as an excon. We were in san quinten together. The floor we lived on, we shared with 100 people. And that floor was 3 feet wide. So it is physically impossible to do 6 foot distancing in a 3foot wide tier. Reporter so what happens when inmates get sick . When viruses hit, the culture of prisons at least in my experience has been punitive. Meaning when someone gets sick, they get punished by being sent to solitary confinement. Reporter that, at least, was the case at san quinten when erlan woods was an inmate there, he hosted and still hosts a podcast called ear hustle. He did an episode on solitary. Its the hole, the box, the dungeon. I saw my future. How do i spend the next 30 till i die in this cell . Because i wasnt prepared for it. Once you get sent to solitary confinement, the rules and regulations that apply in there whether youre there for disciplinary reasons or whether youre there for quarantine purposes, those rules and regulations apply to you no matter what youre there for. Reporter one controversial option, the Early Release of elderly inmates and those convicted of nonviolent crimes. Anybody doesnt have to be in prison, is not being sent to prison, anybody who is nonviolent or ready to be released is out. Reporter in florida last week 164 inmates were released to stop the spread of coronavirus. Reporter the troubling exception that will only solidify existing resistance to Early Release. The day after this announcement, deputies say Joseph Williams killed a man in tampa. I am issuing an executive order to stopda felons from pri and jails in texas. Reporter we may in ordinary times have the luxury of ignoring what happens behind prison walls. But, says piper kerman, not now. Prisons and jails do not have icus. They dont have intensive care units. They dont have any of the medical facilities to deal with very sick people. So every single day on a normal day, on a good day, thousands of prisoners are brought out of prison to local hospitals. Reporter overall, remember, the number of inmates and staff testing positive in new york citys prisons and jails is now over 1,000. One might reasonably assume that the majority of that number are inmates. Theyre not. Of those testing positive for covid19, department of corrections staff outnumber inmates almost exactly two to one. Its impossible that staff will not become infected and that their own families and their own communities are not going to experience the spread of coronavirus outside of prisons and jails because an outbreak behind bars is going to spread to the outside community. Reporter and a footnote. The Florida Department of corrections announced that it is lowering the minimum age to be a corrections officer. And just last week announced 1,000 bonuses for new recruits. Still fresh. Unstopables inwash scent booster downy unstopables for years now critics have s drivethru culture as a symbol of excess and even laziness. Well, now the drivethru is taking a leading role in the fight against the coronavirus. Tracy smith has the story. Reporter all over the country, parking lots have become doctors offices and every car is a little waiting room. Oh, no. Reporter and the keyword is waiting. Here in california, drivers spend as much as six hours in line to get to the big tent where they crack open the window just enough for a nasal swab or a needle stick. And then drive off to wait some more for the results. So people queue up hours before we open. Reporter dr. Matthew ebanante says the process is sl. So the drivethru is the only answer. In my opinion it is. It is. Hospitals are overwhelmed. Urgent cares are overwhelmed. Doctors offices are overwhelmed. Theyre trying to develop home kits but its just not fast enough. A drivethru, fast foodstyle set up is the way we probably have to go. Reporter seems now the drivethru, that symbol of american excess and maybe even laziness, is finally getting a little respect. These days when you have to wear au testiity to go out inpu seems to make a lot of sense. And thats especially true in this country where you can drive through to get just about anything. Today americans want it all. They want it now, and they dont want to get out of their cars to get it. Reporter a few years back our dear friend bill geist found drivethru weddings. Driveth drivethru funerals, and more. So much more. Heres one a lot of people cant even believe. Can i help you . Bourbon and water and a martin i straight up with a twist. Reporter it seems that theres no business that cant be done out of a driveup window. Martin i straight up. Thanks very much. Have a good day.

It doesnt exist as a culture. Drivethrus and fast food, the way ite else in theworld. Reporter driveu it existsute reporter and that flavor sells. According to a recent study, fast food restaurants take in about 70 of their income through that little window. And now the pandemic has made it the only game in town. Drivethrus are how hospital workers and truckers and families are getting fed right now, and so its actually how the country is continuing to move. And thats important to note, too. Hi there. Reporter but whether youre selling burgers or booze or band aids, working a drivethru is a tough business, especially when the cars wont stop coming. Dr. Abanante. What has this been like for you . This has been really hard for me. My familys moved out and i have four kids. They moved to my inlaws. And i get to see them tomorrow, which is really exciting. Reporter i mean, you are on the front line so you felt like you had to isolate yourself, essentially. I felt like that was best. And my wife also. She was very worried about the disease. My family motivates me, and when i think about the world being locked up and me away from my family, its isolating. You feel alone. Reporter but for now it seems the best way forward may be to stay isolated. And just drive through. Is this in some cases a matter of life and death . In some ways, yes. If we prevent one case, we prevent three from that person and three from that person. Its exponential. I do feel like were able to make a huge difference and save lives. Despite stayathome orders, some businesses are managing to take advantage of the coronavirus pandemic. Jamie yuccas is taking a tally. The problem ive been working on most is this sweater. Reporter with more time on their hands, americans are hand crafting sweaters and scarves more than ever. Leading to a big demand for yarn. In the last month, we have been able to ship over 2,000 orders, including orders to stock. Going from an average of 20, 25 to an average of 90, 100 orders. Reporter thats quite a bit of an increase.

The real bottleneck is making sure the stores can keep the shelves stocked. So thats why you see a lot of our Retail Grocery friends are closing their stores a littl bit early to make sure they can restock the shelves. Reporter there are even new Job Opportunities at the company. Were in the process of hiring more people, especially our manufacturing plants. Reporter are you concerned about hiring a number of people for the demand now and then having to lay people off . No, i dont think so. Demand is pretty good.
