Attorney-General Merrick Garland recently ordered the Bureau of Prisons to allow the thousands of federal and state inmates released from prison to home confinement to remain free once the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) emergency is lifted.

This directive reversed a policy implemented during the final days of the Trump administration that would have required many of those who were released to return to their prison cells post-pandemic.

In an email to NBC News, BOP spokesperson Randilee Giamusso said, “The bureau may choose to keep inmates on home confinement post-pandemic if their sentence is nearly over. Inmates who have many more years to serve will be an issue only after the pandemic is over.”

Prisons, jails and detention centers in the U.S. have long-standing issues and have been identified as COVID-19 hotspots, with their inability to quarantine or practice social distancing, overcrowding, insufficient medical care, inadequate hygiene supplies and a disproportionate rate of comorbidities.
