RALEIGH, N.C. (WECT) - Despite recent declines in COVID-19 cases in some state prisons, nearly 4,000 air purifiers are being installed in the ductwork of 53 North Carolina prisons to combat the spread of coronavirus.
Costing a total of $1.8 million, the IWave air purifiers work by making the virus particles heavier and easier to filter.
“The health and safety of the staff and the offenders in our custody is our number one priority,” said Commissioner of Prisons Todd Ishee. “These devices will help to stop the airborne spread of the virus in our facilities and is another tool to use in our ongoing efforts to mitigate the impact of this awful virus.”
