NAACP files suit over virus outbreak at Georgia prison

The lawsuit says inmates in the prison’s housing pods sleep 18 inches (0.5 meters) apart and problems with severe leaks and mold put them at a heightened risk of respiratory diseases, including COVID-19. The complaint also says Coffee Correctional Facility “has generally refused to offer COVID-19 tests to people who do not require medical attention,” even if those inmates have symptoms or have been exposed to infected inmates or staff. It says prison officials last year waited to test inmates in a housing pod for medically vulnerable inmates until they saw infections rise - then had 100 inmates test positive in a single round of contact tracing.
