A notorious Hartford pimp, citing coronavirus fears, pleads for compassionate release from prison
Hartford Courant ^ | 11/18/2020 | EDMUND H. MAHONY

A prison inmate involved in a notorious Hartford prostitution ring that trafficked 14-year old girls and turned other young women into sexual slaves told a judge Wednesday he is afraid of dying in prison from coronavirus and pleaded for early release from his 30-year sentence.

Dennis Paris, now 48 years old and 11 years into his sentence, was one of 10 men and women charged in 2006 in a case that drew national attention to Hartford and the brutal trafficking of teenaged women and girls who were made virtual captives and forced into the sex trade for extended periods.(snip)

Paris is one of dozens of federal prisoners who, over the last nine months, have moved in court for compassionate release from prison sentences because they have health conditions that make them susceptible to complications from coronavirus, which has struck hard in congregate settings such as prisons. Arterton is weighing Paris’s health risks against his potential for future crime and said she will issue a written opinion on release at a later date.

Paris, who since his conviction has had half his lower jaw removed due to a benign growth and now walks with a cane, complained of being in a state of physical “breakdown” since entering prison. He is obese at 5-9 and 326 pounds, is prediabetic, has bad kidneys and has high blood pressure. He told the judge in a long, handwritten memo, that every time he takes a breath at the federal prison in Otisville, N.Y. he fears it may be the one that infects and kills him.

Release?

Sure!

In a casket. Burial for free.

Released. In the same clothes he was wearing when he was arrested.

If ‘they’ can’t control it in a prison, where do they expect to control it?

Perfect setup for experiments...

Practice safe distancing, masks, keep detailed records and pass along results.

Start the testing on death row or whatever they call where those that should ‘get the chair’ are now kept.

They (used to) use prisoners for experiments with diseases etc etc etc

I remember that episode from Starsky & Hutch.
I think this character’s name was Huggy Bear. Lol!
No way would blacks let him get away with that parody today.
The entire studio would be receiving certain phone calls.

The prison needs room for social distancing/no mask wearing violators.

What’s interesting is how many gang members and gunslingers of the old west went to prison and died of tuberculosis while in prison. Oddly, there wasn’t a big movement to get them released.
