I've been to prison 3 times. Got severely Ill several times.. You better know the risk when you break bad. Everyone's all gangster til they get locked up. ..I have rights!!: let me go !! Suck it up. .Scaredy asses YOU DONT THINK ABOUT THE DANGERS WHEN YOU WERE DOING WHAT YOU DID ??? I did and knew. ..Not too scary in minimum I suppose..Go to New Jersey federal prison..Corona virus would be good news .

The previous commenter shows why he's been to prison 3 times through his lack of ability to have empathy, even for people whose current circumstances have been his own.

It's no secret that we have the largest incarcerated population in the world here in the U.S., by amy metric you choose to cite. It's no secret that hundreds of thousands of non-violent offenders languish in our jails and prisons who pose no real threat to the community.

Kate Brown shows the same lack of empathy as the previous commenter and should be probably thrown in jail, as well; if for no other reason than to see how preposterous her statements and actions are and to gain a little empathy.

Our elected officials have failed us on every level throughout this crisis; from failing to prioritize the development and distribution of testing, to infringing upon our civil rights while draining the national treasury and handing out pitiful sums of cash as a substitute for meaningful action- which, by the way, we'll later pay back through massive inflation and taxation.

My husband is in snake River corrections institute. He has told me that there was one guy that got sick and all they did was put him in isolation. The cleaning supplies are low no hand sanitizer. People in dorm area is not spaced right but they have moved those in regular cells to one per cell. No masks at all. And the laundry room in Salem is also doing hospital wash where the virus is getting on the bedding and going to the prison to be washed but it's not a concern for the governor she doesn't have loved ones in prison. My husband is part of the group that has issues. I don't understand why brown asked for all that info about the inmates from the doc if she was not going to go through the release of inmates. To me this is not a time to worry about measure 11. worry about those that have stated that they will do it again (there is one in my husband's prison that has stated he will re-offend) and those on life sentence.
