Fewer than half of Sarasota County jail inmates ask to be vaccinated

The Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office posted a picture of a correctional facility inmate getting the COVID-19 vaccine in mid-April as part of an enthusiastic Facebook post.
The update touted a partnership with healthcare provider NaphCare, which offers services specifically to correctional facilities, to vaccinate any inmate who is willing. On that day, April 14, 50 male and female inmates were vaccinated.
Unfortunately, fewer than half of Sarasota County Jail inmates have requested to be vaccinated, so far. The jail houses more than 840, as of May 5. But only 350 of those inmates – roughly 42% – have been vaccinated.

As legend has it, there used to be a strange law on the books in Sarasota.
Apparently it was illegal for a person to sing anywhere in public while wearing a bathing suit, and if that law still stands, then Greenhills, Ohio, native Robert Burck may be in trouble with the police for the second time in five days.
Naked Cowboy, outlaw.
Burck, known around the world as the “Naked Cowboy,’’ made his annual spring appearance at Siesta Key Beach on Tuesday. Not turning as many heads as you might think, he wore his trademark cowboy boots, cowboy hat and white underwear briefs, all of which had “Naked Cowboy’’ written across them.
