Barr memo says some nonviolent inmates should serve time in home confinement rather than prison amid coronavirus

 

Attorney General William Barr instructed the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) to move nonviolent inmates who are at risk of contracting the coronavirus out of prison facilities and allow them to serve out their sentences in home confinement.

 

"Many inmates will be safer in BOP facilities where the population is controlled and there is ready access to doctors and medical care," Barr wrote in a two-page memo to BOP on Thursday. "But for some eligible inmates, home confinement might be more effective in protecting their health."

Barr directed the bureau to prioritize home confinement for prisoners in low- and minimum-security facilities who pose no safety threat to the community and have a low likelihood of recidivism.

 

Criminals who have committed violent crimes or sexual offenses are not eligible for home confinement.

 

The BOP medical director has been instructed to assess an inmate's risk factor in contracting COVID-19, including coronavirus exposures at the particular prison facility as well as the individual inmate's health history and age.

 

Inmates who are granted home confinement will have to be quarantined for 14-days before they are discharged from the prison in an effort to protect the public.

 

"We cannot take any risk of transferring inmates to home confinement that will contribute to the spread of COVID-19," Barr wrote.

 

Inmates at some of the most heavily populated prisons in the country โ€“ including Rikers Island in New York and California State Prison in California โ€“ tested positive for COVID-19 and the risk of spread throughout prison facilities is troublesome because of the close proximity of prisoners to each other and BOP staff.

Canada Tells US Not to Put Troops at Border During Pandemic

 

TORONTO โ€” Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Thursday his government has told the Trump administration that it is not in favor of the U.S. putting troops at the U.S.-Canada border amid the pandemic.

 

Trudeau said government has been in discussions with the White House about convincing the U.S. not to put troops on the the border.

 

"Canada and the United States have the longest un-militarized border in the world and it is very much in both of our interests for it to remain that way," Trudeau said.

 

โ€œIt is something that has benefited our two countries and our both economies tremendously and we feel it needs to stay that way,โ€ he said.

 

Few people cross into the border into the U.S. from Canada illegally. And COVID-19 cases are surging more in the U.S. than in Canada.

 

Canada has 3,409 cases, 35 deaths and has tested over 158,000 people.
