More than 100 Michigan prison inmates have died of COVID-19, according to Michigan prison officials.
As of Tuesday, there have been 107 deaths of prisoners from the highly-contagious novel coronavirus, according to the Michigan Department of Corrections, prompting calls from inmate advocates for the state to grant more compassionate releases. The department has kept a running list of prisoners and corrections staff deaths online.
Inmates like Rickey Rimmer, who s at the Richard Handlon Correctional Facility in Ionia, described a scene comparable to a hospital sick ward. I ve got the COVID read bad . haven t eaten in 5 days . coughs, chills, no energy, Rimmer said Nov. 11. I m messed up. The nurse just told me I ve got a fever. I haven t been on the phone in a week. I know Momma is worried sick. I can t stand in line to get the phone, too weak. I think we all have a strong class action suit. This thing is real cuz.
