The Alabama Department of corrections confirms three inmates within the state prison system have tested positive for COVID-19.

According to the ADOC these three positive tests represent the first verified COVID-19 cases among ADOC’s inmate population.

One of the inmates who tested positive is also possibly the prison system’s first virus related death. According to the ADOC the inmate was terminally ill and died less than 24 hours after being diagnosed with COVID-19.


Already have seen some crying that Alabama should have released him early. I have no idea why he was imprisoned,though.

Terminally ill?

Meanwhile LA had ZERO deaths and released over 1200 just in case. Rather them kill you than die in prison

This disease escaped from a lab in China and made it all the way into a prison in Alabama.

It's pretty impressive how far and fast a contagious disease can get going through millions of people and hundreds of millions of inanimate objects.

Have thought about this myself a lot. When this first started I figured that some counties in Alabama were so backwater and isolated that they would never see a case. But I'll be damned if in short order we didn't have cases in all 67 counties. This is one of the things that makes me skeptical that we can ever stop or control this by sheltering in place.
