Louisville Metro Department of Corrections inmates (generic)

Members of the organization say they fear COVID-19 is putting inmates at risk at jails and prisons across the state.

Data from the Criminal Justice Commission shows that there was a 52% decrease in arrests from February to June in 2020.

Louisville Metro Corrections currently has 1,610 inmates, but the building was designed to hold 1,353, and it's creating more challenges with the COVID-19.
