    Since the whole approach to dealing with the Chinese virus has been about isolating people, can anyone suggest a better isolation bubble than an effing prison? How difficult can it be to prevent prison inmates from coming into contact with the outside world?

    Probably a bunch of lawyers visiting prisons explaining the inmates the benefits of fat lawsuits when they get sick.

    Each population was a fairly isolate community, with limited access\egress (hopefully!) and some what had a local herd immunity. Not so much when mixed together.

    Diesel Therapy:

    Disciplinary action characterized by transferring inmates for days/weeks, in a diaper to eliminate 'comfort stops', tranked by untrained personnel, black-out hoods, often returning to originating facility.

    Shackles are shortened by twisting so the inmate is in a 'crouch' position for the duration of the trip.
