Social distancing is a tall order inside the crowded jail. So local and state leaders decided to work together to do as much as possible to prevent what could be a potential disaster if the novel coronavirus started to spread quickly inside the jail.
"Stacking human beings on top of each other during a pandemic is especially hazardous to our officers working inside the jail, as well as the inmates they manage," said a spokesman for the jail's FOP.
The officer last worked a shift on March 24, according to a news release sent by the city Wednesday, and he was tested the next day after experiencing symptoms.
