COVID-19 & Incarceration
The COVID-19 pandemic took a heightened toll on people incarcerated in
prisons in the United States, but there's been a limited understanding
of how COVID-19 outcomes differed among incarcerated populations.
In a new article that was published this week
<[link removed]>,
Neal Marquez and coauthors investigate racial and ethnic disparities in
COVID-19 deaths in Texas state prison facilities.
They determine that during the first year of the pandemic, COVID-19
mortality rates for Black and Hispanic people in Texas prisons were 1.61
and 2.12 times higher, respectively, than for White people.
The authors examine some of the potential reasons behind the inequities
they observed and recommend that COVID-19 mitigation strategies in
carceral settings include equity components.
