The first comprehensive data on prison fatalities in the Covid era sheds new light on where and why prisoners were especially vulnerable.
“If they didn’t have a mental health condition to start with, they certainly do by the end of that.” She said its prisons had provided “historic raises for security staff” in 2022 and more in 2023 and had since seen improvements in staffing. Campbell, a former coal miner who pleaded guilty to murder in 2010, had submitted multiple requests for medical care, but he was taken to the hospital only in June 2017 after he passed out from a loss of blood. For years, prisons throughout the country were seen as a boon in rural areas, where they were major employers. At Huttonsville Correctional Center in West Virginia, Robbie Campbell had been complaining of severe constipation and rectal bleeding since the beginning of 2016, according to medical records contained in a lawsuit. In 2009, about 10 percent of all prisoners were 50 or older; by 2019, that number had jumped to 21 percent, according to the Justice Department. But that stopped in 2019 on the eve of the pandemic because of bureaucratic changes within the department. Some states have attempted to deal with an aging prison population through compassionate release programs, and others let out inmates early in 2020 because of Covid concerns. “But unfortunately that has never been the case to the appropriate extent, and it has become worse over time.” In New York, an early epicenter of the pandemic, the rate rose to 32 deaths per 10,000 inmates in 2020, from 25 the year before, while New Jersey recorded 51 deaths per 10,000, up from 21. Prison officials in the three other states did not respond to requests for comment. Researchers said the high numbers — 96 deaths per 10,000 prisoners in West Virginia, more than in any other state — stemmed from long sentences, harsh conditions and relatively poor public health overall.

The responsibility of identifying such prisoners through the mulaqat records will be of the prison staff, the official said. The decision by the office of the Additional Director General of Prisons, Amitabh Gupta, was taken to reduce stress of prisoners who get no visits from their family members or lawyers, officials said. The department also announced that prisoners whose family members are unable to visit them during physical mulaqats (meetings) will have access to the coinbox facility in prisons thrice a month for 10 minutes.

The final decision regarding the visit of the lawyer will be taken by the Jail Superintendent, considering the local situation. However, to improve the service further, it is recommended that prisoners should be given the telephone facility three times a month for ten minutes each, especially those whose relatives or lawyers do not visit them frequently. Prisoners who do not attend lawyer meetings should also be provided with telephone facilities for ten minutes, up to two times a month, after verifying the phone number with the police administration.

"The tremendous jump in deaths in 2020 was more than twice the increase in the United States overall, and even exceeded estimates of the percentage increase at nursing homes, among the hardest-hit sectors nationwide," said the US daily. NEW YORK -- US state and federal prisons saw deaths surging nearly 50 percent during the first year of the pandemic, and in six states they more than doubled, The New York Times reported Sunday, citing the first comprehensive data on prison fatalities in the era of COVID-19. COVID infections drove the death totals, but inmates also succumbed to other illnesses, suicide and violence, according to the data, which was collected by law school researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles. While there was ample evidence that prisons were COVID hot spots, the data underscored how quickly the virus rampaged through crowded facilities, and how an aging inmate population, a correctional staffing shortage and ill-equipped medical personnel combined to make prisoners especially vulnerable during the worst public health crisis in a century, according to the report.

For the Myanmar resistance, they have a problem: if the US gives the Myanmar resistance a little bit of arms, compared to Ukraine, who are they going to give it to? And how do they know that the arms will not be re-sold on the black market to make money, through corruption? There will not be planeloads of assistance to Myanmar; it will have to go through the border. the PDFs have to have some workable and unified command. The Thai government is not going to come out and say they are going to help the CDM, PDF, NUG, and EAOs but on the ground there could be some change. But they have to be able to coordinate and control… It has to be lower officials, not the military junta. They have the ability to earn some revenue and accept donations. So they have to try to work on the ground in the border areas to try to find some space, some flexibility, some openings for more humanitarian assistance. get them to put pressure on the Thai ministry of foreign affairs, the Thai government, the Thai security establishment to have more flexibility for the official policy, and for the unofficial one as well. For example, if there is a new government, there will be a new foreign minister. But if there is a new Thai foreign minister, I think that could be a significant change.
