FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) The Fresno County jail has had more COVID infections than any other correctional facility in the entire country, according to data collected by the New York Times.
The Harris County jail in Houston, TX, ranks second but has more than three times as many inmates.
The next five on the list of correctional facilities with the largest number of inmates who have been infected with COVID are all California state prisons, including Avenal State Prison and the Substance Abuse Treatment Facility and State Prison in Corcoran.

So many people have tested positive for COVID-19 at the Fresno County Jail that the total number of cases now exceeds the entire incarcerated population.
However, sheriff’s office spokesperson Tony Botti says the high caseload in the jail is merely reflective of what’s happening in Fresno County as a whole. Indeed, the jail’s overall positivity rate, just over 11 percent, is on a par with the county’s.
“We have so many people come into the jail and go out of the jail,” Botti says. “So, much like it spreads in the community and how we just had a spike in the last couple of months, the jail is really no different.”
