COVID-19 case numbers at Allegheny County Jail are dropping, and officials say they are drafting a plan to bring back in-person visits for incarcerated people.
A report about solitary confinement in the jail shows the facility was locked down with very limited recreation time for inmates during the month of January.
The president of the corrections officers' union said Thursday that staffing issues could prevent the end of the 23-and-1 lockdown at the Allegheny County Jail. The jail's warden strongly disagrees.
