OAKDALE – Two more federal inmates at a low-security prison in Allen Parish have died of complications from the coronavirus, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

David Townsend, 66, who had been serving a 240-month sentence on drug-related charges, died Thursday at an undisclosed hospital just days after testing positive for COVID-19.

A second inmate, James Wilson, 57, died Wednesday.

Townsend was taken to a local hospital Saturday after going into respiratory failure at the Federal Correctional Institution Oakdale I in Oakdale. He was placed on a ventilator Saturday after his condition worsened, according to the Bureau of Prisons.

Wilson, 57, who had been serving a 135-month sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution Oakdale I in Oakdale, died Wednesday at an undisclosed hospital just days after testing positive for COVID-19.

Wilson was taken to a local hospital Sunday after going into respiratory failure. He was placed on a ventilator Monday after his condition declined, according to the Bureau of Prisons.

Two other inmates from the Oakdale facility - Nicholas Rodriguez, 43 and Patrick Jones, 49 - died earlier this week in the hospital after developing complications from the virus.

A fifth inmate in Libson, Ohio also died Thursday in a hospital after having difficulty breathing and being placed on a ventilator. He was tested for COVID-19, but test results were still pending at the time of his death.

All five inmates had long-term, pre-existing medical conditions which put them at greater risk for developing more severe symptoms of COVID-19, according to the Bureau of Prisons.

Wilson had been at the facility since September 2015 after being sentenced in Alabama to 135-months for obscene material and receipt of child pornography.

Sixteen of the 26 positive COVID-19 cases reported in Allen Parish as of Thursday are from the Federal Correctional Complex in Oakdale. Of those 12 are inmates and four are staff members.

I would never want to be in jail, but I really wouldn’t want to be in jail right now. Absolutely stacked on top of each in close confinement, using the same restroom, showers, sinks, water fountains, phones and sharing ice out of ice chest. Eating food that is made in insanitary and unmonitored conditions on the same halfway washed plates, etc etc etc.

It’s going to spread like wildfire in facilities and they can’t or won’t do anything to curb but will instead do everything they can to hide it from public view. It’ll be bad and be bad quick.

Not wishing death on anyone, even these guys. But they could also have caught it if they were on the outside. I don't agree with the argument being advance by some that prisoners should be freed because of this.

I'm completely OK with someone transferring the lethal version of the ChineseVirus to each and every person on death row in America.





If they die, they die. ZFG.

People are going to lose their shite when they find out that the coronavirus will beat the shite out of you and then crack your skull wide open.

So I've been looking into this, and I'm really confused.



Louisiana has a town with ~8,000 people and a 1,700 bed prison!?
