William Barr must take charge of Miami prison crisis

As conditions at Federal Correctional Institution-Miami continue to get worse, families lament that neither their political representatives nor Justice Department officials are willing to take responsibility.

As of Friday, the Bureau of Prisons website lists 96 inmates and 23 staff as having tested positive for the coronavirus. But the situation in the prison doesn’t appear to be improving. The Washington Examiner has attained correspondence between one prisoner and his family. It states desperately that “someone needs to let the media know what’s going on in here. Now that the virus is spreading and people are dying, they have shut off our communication, hoping to hide everything.”
